Wyred Up is a free business support network for all businesses and organisations, of all industries and sectors, or for contributors to Wyre’s economy.
Wyre Council and local business community leaders created the networking group in 2008. The aim of the network is to help businesses connect and to encourage stronger trade across the borough.
The network plays a crucial role in connecting individuals, fostering relationships, and creating mutually beneficial opportunities. Our members can share information, ideas and resources. We promote collaboration and growth for both people and businesses in Wyre.
Wyred Up has allowed members to discover new partnerships, attract clients, and even find job opportunities.
Wyred Up member benefits
Wyred Up members are offered discounts from partners and other member’s businesses, ranging from advertising, professional services, marketing and other services.
The network hosts free events and meetings with local service providers and external specialist consultants. The Economic Development team at Wyre also provide updates on funding opportunities, business support services, planning updates, research and development assistance, sector updates, and legislation which affects businesses.
