Last week, on Thursday 28th July, we held our Eid Celebration Event at the wonderful IMWS in Batley. We saw 100 businesses gather to hear our diverse range of speakers and indulge in some delicious food from MyLahore.

We would like to thank Aziz-ur Rehman, Business Development Manager at IMWS, for hosting us and to Mohammed Mulla, Chair of IMWS, for being our Master of Ceremonies.

We would also like to extend huge thanks to our headline sponsors SM Commercial for their ongoing support and informing us about the complexities of Immigration and Employment laws, it made for interesting listening.

Our business attendees also heard from Helen Webster at Dementia Action Alliance on how to make your workplace more dementia friendly, whether you are a large corporation or a small enterprise they can certainly help you put together some actions.

Carl Enser, from Delta Comtech Ltd a Microsoft Partner, told us why Business Is Better With Tech and included some really interesting case studies on how tech can help your business become both more efficient and cost-effective.

Of course, the event was held as a celebration of Eid. We heard from Aziz-ur Rehman all about Eid-Ul-Fitr, the Festival of Fast Breaking, and then learned about the business needs of Leeds City Region and how the LEP can help you.

After hearing from our speakers, attendees enjoyed food from MyLahore, which seemed to go down very well! Get details here if you need to organise catering for your next event!
