Says Martin Wyn Griffith, CEO of the Small Business Service, which has responsibility for the Business Link brand: “This is the first year that all the Regional Development Agencies have had responsibility for the delivery of the Business Link service, and these figures show that they have built up service levels so that Business Link is now one of the first places people go to get business advice and easy access to a wide range of potential support.”
