Working in Limavady

Limavady Borough Council has made a significant contribution to local economic development. Throughout the past decade, council has maintained and expanded a programme of support and mentoring for small businesses.

            A primary role of our Development team is to attract funding from a number of national and European sources for business assistance. However the council is involved in further activities on a daily basis to provide support to local businesses. These activities include amongst others:

  • Hosting and attending Chamber of Commerce meetings
  • Working with the Chamber of Commerce on activities to help market Limavady as a place to set up business
  • Publishing our business eZine and distributing it to businesses signed up to our extensive database.
  • Promoting the good work of local businesses through Council's social media pages.
  • Building a network for the creative talents of the borough to collaborate.

This rapport between council and business has the potential to be further capitalised on. We actively encourage all members of businesses in the borough to collaborate with council, and with other local businesses to help create a more dynamic and cross-promotional local economy.

The efforts of the council have become even more critical in recent years due to the national and global economic downturn. Textiles, agriculture and locally-important industries have suffered over the past few years from international pressures. It’s important that fledgling businesses in Limavady are supported in material ways that can help them face these challenges and grow their businesses.

Despite the difficulties related with the economy and business start-ups Limavady Borugh has numerous examples of small businesses that have shown excellent potential and performance in the past few years.

Take part in our Business eZine.

We send a monthly e-mail bulletin to local businesses to keep them informed of new programmes, grants or services which are available. We use a database of email addresses of local businesses

The database is stand-alone, not used for 3rd party marketing purposes, and remains private and confidential at all times. If you want to receive this occasional eZine, email paul.beattie@limavady.gov.uk. or leon.faulkner@limavady.gov.uk
