Webinar – What’s Next for Croydon

Wednesday 5th August at 11.30am

White Label, who have promoted and supported Croydon for more than 10 years, will be hosting their next FREE webinar at 11.30am on Wednesday 5 August, as part of their ongoing commitment to supporting the borough’s businesses.

In this one-hour webinar, we will be discussing the latest updates and guidelines for businesses, how the new government support packages can be accessed and what the new normal looks like across a range of sectors in Croydon.

Our panel will discuss how Croydon businesses are implementing social distancing measures, managing government support schemes and how consumers have responded to the recent re-openings in the Town Centre.

You’ll also be able to ask the panel your own questions. You can email us your questions ahead of the webinar or ask them live.
