Engine Shed joins the Better Business network

By Bristol24/7  Wednesday Feb 16, 2022

Bristol enterprise and innovation hub Engine Shed has joined Bristol 24/7’s Better Business network – an initiative to help businesses thrive whilst creating a positive impact on the city and the people who live there.

Becoming a member is part of Engine Shed’s ongoing commitment to making the city better across all sectors by enabling projects which drive sustainable growth, inclusion and innovation for the region.

Better Business
Better Business is an initiative launched by Bristol24/7 to help businesses thrive, whilst creating a positive impact on Bristol and the people who live here.

As well as its iconic Brunel home next to Temple Meads station which attracts over 30,000 visitors and members each year, Engine Shed works with a diverse range of partners from community, business, academics and government to innovate, seed activity and connect people.

Most recently, Engine Shed launched a Community Partnership scheme where corporates can fund a community partner to become a member of Engine Shed and co-work with them on projects.

Other examples of Engine Shed’s work in the community include its Diverse Workforce for the Future programme, the Bristol Technology Festival and the south west’s Investment Activator Programme.

Engine Shed, and its tech incubator partner SETsquared Bristol, also work with businesses looking to contribute to specialist regional tech clusters, with a fintech accelerator soon to launch.

”The team at Engine Shed are excited about getting involved with what Better Business offers. We’re looking to make new connections and partnerships, host member events and give back via volunteering”, said Marty Reid, Director of Engine Shed.
