Independent businesses are a crucial point of difference for Nottingham’s retail and leisure offerings and we are committed to recognising and celebrating their vital contribution to the local economy through the dedicated Independent City stream of delivery.
Our next Independent Advisory Group is coming up on Thursday 1 September 2022, 9.30-10.30am. We're looking for new perspectives from business owners and their teams, from across the city.
We’re pleased to announce this event will be held at new Hockley based venue Boca Lima, where we will be joined by guest speakers:
• Business & IP Centre will tell us about their support services, particularly around finances. There will be a chance to book in with Mary and her team to have further conversations around saving money.
• Nottingham City Council. This is your chance to catch up with the City Centre Management Team
Hear about what Nottingham BID is planning and help by offering your unique perspective as a small business owner. There will be time to network and meet other business owners too.
We will serve complimentary refreshments, including fresh coffee and yummy breakfast items.
All independent Nottingham high street business owners and/or a team member are invited to attend, just register here.
