New initiative to Accelerate business growth in Peterborough

Employers in Peterborough are being urged to tap into a new venture offering free online training.

Called the Amazon Small Business Accelerator, the help package has been launched jointly by the online retailer and the small business support network, Enterprise Nation.

Victor Pulido, General Manager at Amazon in Kingston Park, Peterborough, which employs more than 1,000 people, said: “Small businesses are the lifeblood of the economy in Peterborough and by helping them we can help families, communities and the UK bounce back more quickly.

“Amazon in Peterborough is passionate about supporting local entrepreneurs and small businesses, with more than half of all products sold on Amazon stores coming from our selling partners.

“Many businesses have found their way through the crisis by providing goods and services online.”

The Accelerator will provide thousands of businesses with the skills, tools and support to succeed in the digital world.
