One of Darlington Business Venture's divisions has won a contract to plan and project manage a series of enterprise awareness events across Tyneside and Wearside.
The organisation will promote projects in Gateshead, Newcastle, Wallsend, South Tyneside and Sunderland on behalf of Business Link Tyne and Wear, and the new Tyne and Wear Start-up Consortium.
The contract was won in the face of strong competition from Tyneside companies and a first in the North of the region for DBV's events division - Enterprise Event Management.
General manager Brian Coady said: "This is excellent news for the company.
"We are delighted to be able to contribute our long standing expertise in attracting would-be entrepreneurs and in helping to provide the information and support which many new businesses need to start up successfully."
