The retail landscape is changing and in last month’s article we talked about the fact that for a town to thrive it needs a co-ordinated approach to defining and directing its future. Accordingly, we would like to invite all shop and restaurant owners or managers, together with business leaders to a short meeting in the NW7hub on February 28th at 5.45 for 6.00pm. We will not keep you long but it is important that you all respond to this call for action. We must have everyone’s ideas on the table and a forward plan of action agreed by all. While some of you may compete, none of you have different strategic goals and while I know that some have tried to get unified action going in the past, there has never been a more urgent need for everyone to pull together to determine joint priorities and actions. At the event we will review a number of possible initiatives for your consideration and listen to your views and concerns. We will provide a little wine and nibbles, and a great incentive for those who attend. Please put the date firmly in your diaries and encourage you colleagues to attend. To paraphrase the allo, allo, series “We can only say this once”. John H Gillett.
NW7hub is located in the Library Building, Hartley Avenue, NW72HX
