Last night we joined Eric Pickles MP, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, in Central London at the official announcement of the roll out of the very successful programme for business and IP centres founded at the British Library in London.

Six new Business and IP Centres are being created around the country to allow the wider business community outside of London to benefit from the excellent recources available at the British Library.

The announcements including two streams of funding agreed one being from the Arts Council of £600,000 over two years and the other being from Barclays bank.
