We are working with Harrow in Business to develop links to support the curriculum. Our new Sixth Form Centre has excellent facilities to let to small local businesses for conferences and training.
"As the Chief Executive of Harrow in Business (HiB) your local Enterprise Agency I have been asked by Heathfield School to give my expertise from a business perspective to help get you through and survive the economic recession.
We are all hearing on the news just how the current economic difficulties are affecting business, with daily announcements of closures and job losses.
The news we hear tends to focus on larger business and the bigger redundancy announcements, the untold story is the impact this is having on the smaller, family run businesses or self employed, which make up the majority of the Harrow economy.
As a business owner or someone who is self employed there are things you can do to lessen the impact and ride out the storm and with advice from HiB we are here to help you do just that.
This short ‘recession buster’ booklet has been devised to help residents, homeowners and local businesses (and many of you reading this will be all three of those), to get through the recession as best a way as possible.
I hope my
top ten business survival tips for beating the worst of the recession in Harrow will come in useful."
