News for businesses in Havering. October 2018.
 Young digital talents were asked to embrace their creativity side and shoot promotional videos for charity Havering Mind as part of CEME Launchpad Centre’s Young Entrepreneurs Program.
A number of pupils from Bower Park Academy in Romford took part in the scheme, which was a joint venture between Havering Council and CEME, aiming to improve the digital skills of young people and close the digital gap in the UK workforce.
This programme was managed in partnership by CEME and Havering Council. The students produced two or three minute marketing videos for Havering Mind on either raising awareness of mental health, or a fundraising half marathon.
Students were thanked at an event attended by Cllr Wallace representing Havering Council, Bill Williams, the CEO of CEME, Lorna Waters from Time FM, Ciaran White of Havering Mind, and television presenter and ex-student of Bower Park Rhys Stephenson.
 If you run a new business you could win an award at the prestigious National Best New Business Awards and join previous winners like the Radfield Home Care Havering & Brentwood team who are pictured celebrating their win in the Franchisee of the Year category last year.
Open to Businesses that formed between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2018 you can enter up to three categories, from a list of 17 awards ranging from Construction Business of the Year to Pub of the Year. The awards will culminate in an awards final at Wembley Stadium.
