BUDDING inventors, entrepreneurs, artists and business people seeking project funding will be at Friday's seminar hosted by MP Andy Burnham from 10am at the Turnpike Centre, in Leigh.

Attending will be speakers from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), North Manchester Business Link and TEChINVEST -- an independent introduction service for businesses and investors.

Mr Burnham said: "Leigh is a very appropriate venue because it is the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, with the invention of the Spinning Jenny. There are many exciting people in my constituency but they need to know who can support them to make their businesses more successful."
