WEXFORD’S AUDIOVISUAL sector has received a boost thanks to a new joint Local Enterprise Offices initiative.

The South Eastern Creative Corridor (SECC) is a year-long intensive programme aimed at supporting the development and growth of enterprises operating within or providing products and services to the audiovisual sector.

Its overall objective is to create a vibrant, viable, creative industry cluster across the region.

Entrepreneurs and established Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) will be encouraged and supported by Local Enterprise Offices to grow their businesses, internationalise and create new jobs in the region.

Representatives of Wexford Local Enterprise Office were among those to attend the recent SECC Symposium at Wicklow County Campus.

The SECC initiative offers enterprise owners an intensive programme of business development including training, mentoring, networking and access to finance.
