New businesses will be able to get support and advice when a pop up enterprise centre opens next week in King’s Lynn. Staff from NWES will be on hand at the Pop-up Enterprise Centre to discuss what office space will be available to rent in the KLIC, along with information about how to book meeting and conference rooms. They will also be able to outline the business support that will be on offer at the KLIC.
