CULTURE
The creative industries make up at least 10% of the Croydon economy,
primarily in the areas of printing, publishing, software consultancy,
architectural activities, advertising, photography and entertainment,
although other sectors such as film, video and heritage are growing
fast.
Croydon Business is keen to provide support and
advice to this important sector. We are working
closely with public and private bodies through the Cultural Partnership
to develop a cultural quarter and to support the many emerging creative
industries in the borough through the establishment of a creative
hub: flexible workspaces, training, mentoring, exhibition,
showcasing, marketing and networking facilities would be available
to businesses in Croydon. If you would like to be kept up to date
on these developments, please email ldyos@croydonbusiness.com
TOURISM
Tourism is an important and growing industry in
Croydon and Croydon Business leads on its development in the borough,
particularly in the business tourism sector through conferencing,
exhibitions and incentives. Croydon Business is working closely
with the LDA and Visit London to implement strategies in partnership
with other boroughs across South London. We are especially keen
to explore stronger links with hotels and visitor attractions in
Croydon.
To
discuss any of the above opportunities in greater detail, please
contact Linda Dyos on (020) 8680 0462.
