Coffin Mew Solicitors survey Brighton businesses in the first Brighton Business Pulse

 

 

Throughout April and May 2016 Coffin Mew asked business leaders for their views on the economy, business confidence and why they chose Brighton.

 

Brighton is celebrated around the world as a tourist destination with a thriving and exciting cultural scene. What is perhaps less well-known is its dynamic and expanding business community. Some 1,500 start-up and young digital and technology businesses call Brighton home, giving it the name ‘Silicon Beach’.

 

Coffin Mew opened its office in Brighton in 2015 to support both businesses and individuals. The Brighton Business Pulse is in part a celebration of the business community in this wonderful city, recognition of what works and what could be done better. It also marks Coffin Mew’s first anniversary as part of the local community.
