As the evenings get lighter and the worst of the cold weather is behind us it is a sure sign that Spring is almost upon us.
But while the flowers start to decorate our parks and gardens, the chancellor is working on his first Spring Budget, due 15th March. We will soon find out what this means for businesses and what help the government will put in place for those still struggling and we will continue to bring you information on the help and support available to all our local businesses.
In this month’s issue we offer help to business owners who would information regarding the Commercial Waste regulations that affect all businesses. We also feature the local Jobs and Apprenticeships Fair, International Women’s Day and list details on a free online course for businesses looking at developing their Environment Strategy.
If you have a business event that you would like us to promote or a success story that you would like us to share, please let us know at businessalerts@rother.gov.uk
