LilaConnect is proud to support Launch It Stoke-on-Trent’s new youth Enterprise Hub by providing free access to its ultra-fast, full fibre internet. This week, the award-winning UK charity opened its first enterprise centre in the Midlands—a dedicated space designed to help young local entrepreneurs start up, connect, collaborate, and grow.
With a focus on nurturing young entrepreneurs, creatives, artists and makers, the centre aims to drive the regeneration of Longton and the wider Stoke-on-Trent area by providing affordable workspaces, business development support, skills training, mentoring, funding opportunities, and guidance to help young people succeed in their respective industries, and today’s competitive market.
Over the years, LilaConnect has demonstrated its commitment to the needs of the community and regional economy and for entrepreneurs, a combination of high-speed connectivity, reliable service, and local support will be an added bonus.
As a specialist gigabit full fibre broadband company, LilaConnect provides Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) technology, which means a dedicated fibre connection directly to the premises, resulting in a higher quality connection for customers.
Launch It Stoke features 20 state-of-the-art studios with a mixture of co-working and individual workspaces. It is connected to the Longton Townhall market, making it a central focal point in the area, and offers a fantastic environment for creativity, innovation and business growth
Matt Ogden, Sales and Marketing Director said:
