Calling all business owners – whether home or High Street based, corporate or sole trader - we want to hear how we can best support you to thrive and grow.

We are asking you to take just 10 minutes to complete the 2023 East Surrey Business Survey to help the East Surrey Economic Development Initiative (the four East Surrey councils of Epsom & Ewell, Mole Valley, Reigate & Banstead and Tandridge) examine the current local business landscape and identify key needs to support growth.

By completing this survey businesses can help the East Surrey local councils get a better understanding of growth challenges, skills and employment needs, and business support requirements.

The survey is open to any business based in the area and will take just 10 minutes to complete.

Could 2023 be the year for a fresh start?  RB works site has a host of information for employers as well as job seekers.  Watch the latest blog from Tilly our Environmental Health apprentice on why she chose to do a degree apprenticeship at Reigate & Banstead Borough Council.
