It will include a training and conference centre, cafe and 31 small business units, known as the Enterprise Greenhouse greenhouse, enclosed glass house used for growing plants in regulated temperatures, humidity, and ventilation. A greenhouse can range from a small room carrying a few plants over the winter, to an immense heated glass building called a hothouse or conservatory, , designed to support local fledgling companies.

Funded by the Local Enterprise Growth Initiative and the European Regional Development Fund, the greenhouse aims to meet the local demand for small, high-quality office space with the onsite support needed by newly started businesses.

The 31 business units can accommodate between one and four people.

Tenants will also enjoy a range of on-site business support, including advice from the Chamber's business support and training teams, and on-site facilities staff.

Kath Boullen, chief executive at St Helens Chamber, said: "The chamber aims to offer as much support to new businesses as possible to help them survive their first few years and flourish in the future."
