Get your business listed on the NUS Website
The first thing a student new to the area will do is check out the deals on the National Union of Students (NUS) website. So it is important if you want to sell to this market that you get your business listed on this website. Contact Stephanie to get your business listed.
The NUS is a voluntary membership organisation which makes a real difference to the lives of students and its member student's unions. There are a confederation of 600 students' unions, amounting to more than 95% of all higher and further education unions in the UK. Through there member students' unions, they represent the interests of more than seven million students'.

Beeston BID Buying Group
By working in partnership with local procurement specialists Burns Associates, we are able to look at bulk buying opportunities which could save your business money. Burns Associates have a proven track record of working with local Doctors surgeries and can save them on average between 20-25%. At first we are going to look at the basics: gas, electricity and telecoms but once we learn a bit more about what you buy, we can tailor it to meet your needs. To get involved all you have to do is fill in the relavant form and return it to the BID office with your latest bill.
Please return your completed form (Beeston BID Buying Group form, 103.8 KB) along with a copy of your latest bill to Stephanie Wilkinson, Beeston BID Office, 96a High Road, Beeston, NG9 2LF or email it to Stephanie@beestonbid.org or fill in the form below (you may upload .pdf, .jpg, or .gif files).
Chetwynd Barracks
The barracks are very keen to engage with Beeston. There is a great opportunity for Beeston to show how welcoming we are to the soldiers and their families by taking part in the national Heroes Welcome initiative.
