A successful end to 2021 with promising signs moving into 2022…

This year was the most successful series of Christmas events yet. After last years cancellations no stone was left unturned.

We saw hundreds of traders take to the town centres of Retford & Worksop, serving over 14,700 members of the public.

Anyone in attendance could see the joy that it brought to both towns.

The Restart Scheme – Futures

What can the Restart Scheme and Futures do for employers?

What is the Restart Scheme?

The Restart Scheme offers up to 12 months of support to Universal Credit claimants who have been out of work for between 12 and 18 months to help them learn new skills, increase their confidence and find work. The scheme is Government funded and is part of the “Plan for Jobs”.

Futures, in conjunction with Maximus, will be delivering a programme of tailored employment and skills support across the region and we are keen to engage with employers to ensure the Restart Scheme meets the local employment and skills needs.

BID Member Spotlight – Universal Coatings (UK)

This is displayed in their most recent project, which was restoring Big Ben to its former glory. Being commissioned to work on a world-renowned structure is a true homage to the company’s skill level and reputation.

The initial restoration project involved removing the decay and deterioration of the belfry and clock faces, and then applying a colour match to the mechanism. The job was not for those scared of heights, as the team was working from up to 96 metres in the sky!

After an impressive performance on the clock and bell tower, their efforts moved onto restoring the cast iron roof. After removal of tiles, they were transported to the Misterton facility for cleaning, repairs, and coating before being returned and re-installed onto Big Ben.
