SUFFOLK'S smaller businesses will be fighting back at the Suffolk Show today at a joint trade stand with town leaders.
Ipswich Borough Council and Ipswich and Suffolk Small Business Association are standing together to cut costs and to show people they are there to help.
James Hehir, chief executive of Ipswich Borough Council said: “We are again linking up with the Ipswich and Suffolk Small Business Association to have a strong presence at the Suffolk Show while minimising the cost and making it possible for enterprises to attend.
“We are heavily involved in promoting the needs of small businesses, especially in the economic downturn, and want to get the message across that we are here to help.
“And in June we are linking up with the Evening Star and the Suffolk Chamber at a credit crunch seminar to develop this theme.”
Stand number 232 includes a number of Ipswich-based exhibitors including:
