Save the date! Your Acton BID, in partnership with Design LED, will be hosting 3 sustainable markets in the year. Our first market will be held this summer on Churchfield Rd on July 13th from 10 am to 4:30 pm. There are further plans for a Churchfield Road Autumn market (14th September) and Winter market (14th December) in the year, but this is the first one we will be hosting, and we would like everyone to take part in the experience.

As part of the market day and set-up, part of Churchfield Road will be closed to vehicles between Alfred Rd and Burlington Gardens to allow for the necessary stall spaces.

For more information contact Natasha.

Great customer service helps retain customers. We are keen to help businesses ensure they make the most of every customer interaction. In November 2023, insight6, one of the country’s leading Customer Experience (CX) organisations, mystery-shopped 40 Acton businesses. A mystery shop is where a researcher behaves exactly like a customer and visits your business. They then provide a full report on their Customer Experience.

With the success of last year's Customer Experience awards, Your Acton BID has teamed up with Insight 6 once again. This year we are offering the service to retail and industrial businesses.

If you are interested in the mystery shopping initiative and would like more information, please email Natasha@actonbid.co.uk.

Have you seen our beautiful flower baskets along The Vale, High Street, Churchfield Road and Market Place? They are now officially up, and Acton is about to bloom with beautiful flowers that will beautify and bring colour into our area. The summer flowers were also added to the wooden planters along the High Street, and we have added flowers in the parklet on the High St and planter on the Vale.

It is all part of the BID's goal to make Acton a glorious place for businesses and locals.⁠⁠ If you have any questions regarding the flower baskets and planters, please email us at info@youractonbid.co.uk.
