Seriun to Open Burnley Business Week 2026 with Practical AI Workshop for Local Businesses

Seriun will kick off Burnley Business Week 2026 by delivering the opening session, helping local businesses discover how AI can save time, reduce admin, and improve profitability.

Taking place on Monday 21 September at Burnley College, the session, “Turn Time into Profit with AI“, will be delivered by Mark Edwards and James Stott from Seriun. Attendees will see practical demonstrations of AI tools and learn how businesses can use technology to work smarter, improve efficiency and reclaim valuable time.

Rather than focusing on theory, the workshop will showcase real-world applications that local businesses can implement immediately to streamline everyday tasks, reduce repetitive admin and create more time for strategic work.

Mark Edwards, Operations Director at Seriun, said:

“Businesses across Lancashire are hearing a lot about AI, but often struggle to understand what it actually means for them. This session is focused on practical examples that people can take away and start using straight away. Small time savings made consistently can have a significant impact on a business’s productivity and profitability.”

Burnley Business Week returns from the 21st to 25th September, bringing together a packed programme of free workshops, expert-led sessions and networking opportunities designed to help businesses start, grow and innovate. The week includes topics such as AI, leadership, manufacturing innovation, LinkedIn for business growth, employment law, marketing, workplace wellbeing and cyber security.

As a Burnley-based managed IT, cyber security and AI specialist, Seriun is proud to support an initiative that helps local businesses adopt new technologies and prepare for the future.
