Boris Johnson launches Crafted website

In a speech given to small businesses, property owners and enterprise support agencies, London Mayor Boris Johnson today unveiled ‘London New Enterprise,’ a website developed alongside anyspacedirect.co.uk, the commercial property platform recently launched by Crafted.

The website connects up and coming businesses in London with landlords with available properties on their books. Many small firms find commercial property rental prices significantly out of their budgets and may fail to grow as they are unable to find affordable accommodation in a suitable location.

 The website will become a useful tool to drive entrepreneurial spirit in the capital, and help small businesses gain traction as they begin following growth strategies.

With our dificcult economic climate, it can be very difficult for smaller businesses to find property that is suitable yet cost-effective. So, Crafted has worked with a variety of parties including Workspace Group PLC and London Mayor to ensure the new website has the resources and backing to make a real difference to the fortunes of SMEs in and around London.
