Our Creative Boom Hubs have been live for over a week now and we've added plenty more to the original five hubs that were launched on the 1st November 2009.

We now have Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Cheltenham, Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Stoke-on-Trent. Very exciting times!

More hubs are welcome so please come forward if you've got a city you'd like to have as your own Creative Boom Hub. We're particularly keen to find people to look after Southampton, Dublin, Aberdeen, Norwich and Plymouth - so if you're interested or you know someone who might be, then please get in touch!

People who volunteer their time to have their own Hubs will be setting themselves up for loads of benefits. They'll be helping to raise their own profiles which could lead to new clients. They'd also be helping other creative businesses while building up a creative network in their own areas.

Each Hub also gets their posts featured on our main Creative Boom website under 'Hub News...' So it really is a fantastic opportunity! Plus those who sign up now will benefit from any developments in future.

For now, we're adding cities but we will consider smaller towns and villages in future... We might even go international. Who knows! It's just great that we've been able to respond to the recent survey we conducted and help you to find more work, meet new people and cause a Creative Boom!

If you want your own Creative Boom Hub, email hubs@creativeboom.co.uk and let us know which city you'd like to cover. We'll then be in touch to let you know whether it's free and still available.
