Building Legacies Venues in East London

This document outlines the requirements of the Building Legacies programme, which is being delivered by East London Business Place (ELBP) in partnership with Newham Colleges Apprenticeships, Partnerships and Innovation Department (API), and which provides tailored support solutions for London-based Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) seeking competitive business advantage.

Part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the purpose of this initiative is to deliver a sustained support programme tackling gaps in SMMEs' growth, innovation, contract-readiness and knowledge of procurement and supply-chain requirements until December 2021.

The Building Legacies training and events programme will provide robust business support and networking opportunities to its clients via the usage of external expert consultants and trainers. The main focus for Building Legacies is to differentiate its approach, proposition and focus by offering a variety of events which focus on business growth in key areas and also provide hands on practical outcomes and takeaways.

Building Legacies has undertaken extensive client research via diagnostics, 1-2-1 engagements and focus groups to better understand the training needs of its clients. The outcome of this research has effectively dictated the proposed training programme which will ensure that clients have access to the training required to help grow their business.

The training programme is planned to be delivered through a series of training workshops and (where applicable) associated 1-2-1 activity between August 2019 and April 2020.

A range of meeting/training rooms will be required to facilitate a number of planned workshops and seminars. Rooms should be able to generally accommodate 15-25 delegates (although there may be an additional requirement* for between 50 to 75 delegates for up to two larger type breakfast/evening networking type events if required).
