DUDLEY entrepreneurs and students got some top tips during a digital masterclass with the team from Google.

The 'Digital Garage' was held at Dudley College on Friday (October 14), equipping business owners with crucial skills for the digital age.

Andy Mullaney, who has become Dudley's first business connector during a 12 month secondment from Lloyds Bank, said the event was "fantastic".

"It was great to see how to use Google effectively, " he said.

"There are lots of tools to make sure businesses get a really good profile, not only locally but on a national footing as well."

The free two hour session was arranged by Dudley North MP Ian Austin, who said it was "great" to see people learning new skills.
