DESCRIPTION:Is your business shielded from potential Cyber crime? \nCyber is dauting for small businesses and sole traders. It’s hard to know where to start\, services can be expensive\, and it’s not always obvious who you can trust. The South West Cyber Resilience Centre (SWCRC) aims to solve all of these problems.   \nRoss Brown\, Head of Cyber and Innovation at the South West Cyber Resilience Centre\, will talk about some of the biggest cyber threats to businesses\, the practical steps that you can take to protect your business from cyber threats and the way The South West Cyber Resilience Centre can support you and your business for FREE   \n  \nLunch and refreshments will be provided –  Any special dietary requirements should be included on the booking form   \n  \nThe South West Cyber Resilience Centre is led by serving police officers\, as part of a not-for-profit partnership with business and academia. Because we’re funded by the Home Office\, regional policing and private businesses\, we don’t need to make money from our members. We think we’re unique in being able to provide something to protect the small businesses and charities who don’t have the resources or knowledge to protect themselves from cybercrime.

Gravity will rekindle this ethos through the development of a place that is continually evolving\, catering for tomorrow’s workforce whilst protecting the climate and environment. \nChallenging the way we work\, live and play\nSalamanca Group has a track record in developing commercial real estate outside of the UK\, yet they always aspired to create a flagship development in the UK. One that would bring together some of the greatest business minds to solve some of the biggest economic and environmental challenges we are facing and enhance the economic growth of the South West of England as well as the UK. \nSalamanca wanted to build more than just bricks and mortar packaged up as an enterprise hub. They had a vision of building a forward-thinking sustainable\, energy efficient and high-performing campus with a sense of community and set about finding the perfect location. \nIn 2017 This is Gravity Ltd was formed to bring the vision to reality. \nBuilding on history and moving toward a sustainable future\nFor over sixty years during the 20th Century\, the Royal Ordnance Factory Bridgwater was based on the site. During this period\, it was a significant production facility through wartime and peace.  Social clubs\, sports teams and community events were the norm. \nBuilding on its manufacturing past\, buzz of activity and community spirit\, Gravity will once again become an employment hub supporting an active ecosystem of businesses in a desirable environment.
