North Somerset Enterprise Agency to the hive!

We’re proud to say that we have helped with business support for 1,000s of small businesses for over 35 years!

Whilst we are incredibly privileged to have been able to support all these business owners, as a not-for-profit business, we need to ensure that our organisation remains healthy and relevant for years to come, make sure we can continue to do this important work and contribute to North Somerset as a thriving region for business.

Today, after 12 months of focused work on our organisation, we are now much clearer about the way forward. We’ve rebranded – from North Somerset Enterprise Agency (NSEA) to the hive – with a clear strategy that supports this rebrand. the hive offers 3 core pillars of support which we will be communicating over the next few months. These are business support, office space and business community.

In short, by merging NSEA and the hive, the companies are simplifying how people can access support, whether they need a physical space to work from, networking and community opportunities or business support, it’s now all under one roof and one name, the hive.

We hope that the rebrand and the renewed focus of our energies will ensure that we build greater awareness within the region, attract start-ups who are looking for help and advice and offer a home for those businesses that are looking for office space.

We offer support that grows with your business. We’ll be there for the start-up phase, but we’ll also be there when you are ready to find premises and build your team.

This rebrand gets us match fit for the future. In working on business strategy and growth, we are living the advice that we give to others. We are confident and excited for the future and look forward to welcoming your business to the ‘home of business’ in North Somerset.”
