Derry City and Strabane District Council’s Business Boost programme is helping local companies to comply with employment legislation and adopt best practice techniques for workplace relations with support from the Labour Relations Agency.
Business Boost is a three year programme that aims to mentor established local companies to become more competitive in both indigenous and export markets.
