A workshop aimed at helping small and self-employed business owners feel safer online is being launched as part of a series of free sessions at Sidmouth’s new shared workspace.
The Lighthouse, which opened in Mill Street last month, plans to feature a range of guest speakers at the workshop, on the third Wednesday of every month.
Member and Sidmouth based IT-consultant Michael Mertens, will share practical advice on how to stay safe on the web at the talk next Wednesday (February 20).
Cathy Debenham, who co-founded The Lighthouse, said: “IT security is an issue for many small businesses and self employed people.
“When you set up your own business you leave behind all the trappings of corporate life.
