As the Tesco slogan goes: "Every little helps." And for small businesses facing caps on potential lending due to the ongoing, and forever cloudy financial climate, (see the article in our 'Very KEEN' entry, or this telegraph article... http://tiny.cc/a1s3j. Point proved) it most certainly does.
Hence the ever-increasing importance of 'business support agencies.' Not through lack of competence but on account of the untold levels of effort, energy, and planning it takes to build a business; small business owners tend not to have the time to organise networking events or seek out specialist help. Luckily for them that happens to be the area of expertise of the ELBP (East London Business Place).
ELBP offer their services for free to small to medium enterprises across the 10 East London Boroughs. They provide a face-to-face sourcing and matching service for buyers and suppliers to maximise local business benefit from new developments and commercial precincts in East London.
WDF Productions have attended some of ELBP's workshops and the personalised help and knowledge they provided was fantastic. We felt like we should have been paying for the service. So working with ELBP was a great opportunity for WDF Productions.
WDF Productions worked with ELBP really closely throughout the project to get the right message conveyed in the final product. The short promo film was produced to help build awareness of ELBP so that more SME's across the boroughs can access the different services they offer.
The footage was captured in the Ibis building and De Vere venues at Canary Wharf where the ELBP run their events. Canary Wharf is the hub of business activity in East London so it only seems appropriate that ELBP are based there.
The final edit quite beautifully yet succinctly portrays the ELBP's philanthropic actions and desire to benefit business in East London. The short film will help build awareness of the ELBP and if you own a small business in the area, it can only make you want to be involved with them.
