creative industries development service (cids) grt manchester  



The Creative Industries Development Service works to help creative businesses in Greater Manchester by providing a free business information service, whilst also taking a strategic overview of the sector – developing new projects in response to industry needs. Our strategic work has involved establishing and supporting networks covering everything from music production to fashion design.

In 2005 we worked with our partners across these creative networks to produce the Creative Industries Action Plan for Manchester Enterprises - a blueprint defining how business support in the sector should be delivered.For more information on CIDS call us free on 0800 169 1143.
