Remember the Make It Ealing Business Social. It is an excellent opportunity to catch up with your fellow BID businesses, discuss current events, and chat with BID staff about any concerns. Feedback from previous get-togethers is that 'the wine is delicious, and it's great to socialise with my business neighbour', so join us at Reineta on March 26th from 5.30 pm. To help with catering, please register here.

We will officially launch the Employee of the Year award on the 26th March to reward employees for their hard work and loyalty. The award has four categories: Retail Services, Commercial Services, Food & Drink, and Commercial Business­­.

'For Art's Sake', a long-standing and well-established Ealing business, is looking at innovative ways to evolve and grow. Wearing their creative hats, they are reaching out to the community for their opinions. If you love the arts and the spirit of independent businesses, show you care and help 'For Arts Sake' curate its next steps. 

We are changing the way we offer free recycling for independent businesses. We can now offer a choice. Businesses can choose to stay with Biffa or go with First Mile. Both companies will extend BID discounts on future orders across all their services. 

The allocation is for recycling bags only. We no longer provide tape, as cardboard can be folded and placed into recycling bags, or a recycling bag can be stuck to the outside of card bundles. 

Special licences for beauty treatments must be renewed by April 1st. The council should have already contacted businesses with a link to their renewal application. Please pay attention to the notices, as your insurance and public liability could become invalid without a valid licence.

The Preloved School Uniform event is back due to the enormous success of previous events; it will run from April 6th to 13th..

The Bright Lights: Launch Group is holding a very useful workshop on March 21st, focusing on Interview Skills

Walk & Talk with the MET Pollice. Women are invited to walk with a Police officer in their local area and discuss their thoughts on women's safety.
