A huge thank you to Weetabix for hosting our Health, Safety and Wellbeing Forum at their Burton Latimer factory last week.

It was a fantastic opportunity for BID members and those from the wider business community to come together...with the added bonus of a (delicious) factory tour after the meeting. 😉

The popular session covered current health and safety themes across logistics and manufacturing, a round table discussion and security updates.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Weetabix for such a warm welcome. 💙

Something a little special happened on Brackmills this week – for the first time, The Wildlife Trusts for Beds, Cambs & Northants led a lunchtime guided nature walk right here on the estate.

Employees swapped screens for fresh air, discovered the wildlife on their doorstep and returned to work feeling more focused and refreshed.

Led by a friendly and knowledgeable guide, it was a brilliant way to spend a lunch break.

The Wildlife Trust is one of our five charity partners for 2025, and it's wonderful to see the partnership coming to life in such a direct way. 💙

In the latest of our Business Spotlight series, we spoke to Anthony Pearlgood, director of Store Secure 365.

Anthony and his team have spent two years researching the market before launching this flexible, drive-up container storage business right here on the estate.

With 24-hour CCTV, coded gate access and units available on flexible terms, it's a genuinely useful resource for businesses and individuals alike...and with a second site already under review in Kettering, big things are ahead.

Brackmills BID members can take advantage of an introductory offer of 60% off the first two months of storage. Read the full spotlight here: https://www.brackmillsindustrialestate.co.uk/news/business-spotlight-store-secure-365/

Did you know that fewer than 5% of people with additional needs are in employment...and yet more than 65% want to work?

Creating Tomorrow Trust, one of our Brackmills BID charity partners, is working to close that gap. They support young people with special educational needs and disabilities to build the skills and confidence they need for working life - and they need local businesses like yours to be part of the story.

Whether it is a workplace visit, a career talk or a conversation about becoming more disability confident, there are lots of ways to get involved. 💙

Read a full Spotlight story about their amazing work here: https://www.brackmillsindustrialestate.co.uk/news/charity-partner-spotlight-creating-tomorrow-trust-opening-doors-changing-lives/

Creating Tomorrow Trust exists to help young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) prepare for exactly the kind of working world that Brackmills represents.
