Brentford Chamber Meeting on Business Resilience October 2010

We held a workshop on Business Resilience In October 2010 of which you can view the presentation.

Nearly 1 in 5 businesses will suffer a serious disruption every year. Your business could be next. With no recovery plan, your business has less chance of survival. Are you prepared?

Whether you are a market trader, voluntary organisation or a global institution, continuing day-to-day in the event of disruption could be vital to your organisation’s success.

Dear Colleague

We would like to invite you and your colleagues to join us at the Partnership Challenge to recognise, reward and celebrate the growing number of activities taking place between schools and the local economic community in Hounslow.

At the Partnership Challenge, certificates will be presented to schools and their community partners. In addition to the certificates, Hounslow Chamber will present the Jubilee Cup to one of the joint secondary school activities and the Malcolm Gibbins Cup to one of the joint primary school activities. In addition to the two trophies the Angela Innes Award will be presented to the community partner who has demonstrated an understanding of the needs of students through work related learning activities and who, in the opinion of the school who nominates them, has gone “the extra mile.” There will also be displays of several partnership activities.

Brentford Christmas Lights Dinner Dance

For the past two years the Residents of Brentford have been able to enjoy the Christmas lights in the High Street. The Brentford Christmas Lights Appeal 2010 is again seeking to raise the £3,500 required to cover the cost of the illuminations. The lights make an enormous difference to the High Street and really help to invoke the spirit of Christmas.

Last year the fund raising gala was held at the Great Conservatory in Syon Park (see the photos), by kind permission of the Duke of Northumberland and a terrific time was had by all.

Fire, Flooding, Power Failure, Terrorism

It seems that every day the media is reporting a new incident. Whilst some may say it is an exaggerated portrayal, all business managers know that these risks can and do affect businesses everywhere.

As a business in Brentford, it is in your best interest to ensure that you and your suppliers are resilient. When emergencies occur it is stressful for all involved but by having some awareness beforehand, this can help. It is important to be aware of the types of risk that you may face; how these risks can be reduced; what the emergency services will do; and the procedures that are available so that you can get back into trading as quickly as possible.
