Sir Richard Leese launches the pro·manchester SME Club

The pro.manchester SME Club, an online advisory community for SME’s was launched today by Sir Richard Leese, Leader of Manchester City Council.

SMELaunchSponsored by RBS, the pro?manchester SME Club is a free model providing business information and advice to as wide a range of businesses as possible no matter what the stage, location or size.

Individuals who sign up will receive one thousand top tips each year and also a weekly copy of newsletter pro.manchester Connects to help run their business. Tips will be provided by trusted experts within the pro?manchester membership and provide a great opportunity for members to engage with the SME community and to assist with the challenges every business faces.

Chief Executive of pro.manchester John Ashcroft said

"I am fortunate to have had lots of experience in business, some good and at times not so good. That is the nature of business, I don’t care what stage you are at in your business life you never stop learning and we can all use a useful reminder about key do’s and don’ts.  It’s a little like flying across the Atlantic, it doesn’t matter how many times you have done it, you still need a checklist to ensure the cargo doors are shut and the landing gear is in the right position at the appropriate stage in the flight.  pro.manchester SME Club will provide "the checklists" to make sure there are no gaping holes in key business plans"

Speaking of their sponsorship deal for the SME Club Rob Pailin, Regional Director at RBS said

"RBS is pleased to become a sponsor of the SME Club which, under pro.manchester, brings together a wealth of knowledge and experience from it's members with the aim to provide practical support and guidance to SME business within the Greater Manchester area and beyond"

Recognising the importance of e-commerce in any business plan the pro?manchester SME Club has also developed the E-Team, a collective of over thirty key businesses in the e-commerce sector specialising in web design, SEO, PPC, social media, e-mail strategies and more.
