3037517 3037517 Introduction from Councillor Situ

Welcome to the fourth edition of the Southwark Business Directory.

Southwark is one of the best places in London to start and grow a business, making our borough a thriving centre of enterprise for the capital, home to over 15,000 businesses and over a quarter of a million jobs.

As a council we value the contributions made by our businesses to the local economy and wellbeing of our residents. Businesses provide jobs, take on and train apprentices and bring life to our town centres. Our refreshed Economic Wellbeing Strategy for 2017-2022 renews our commitment to local growth that provides opportunities for our residents to fulfil their aspirations. 11 We’ve already made great strides; Southwark now has record numbers of residents in employment, dozens of businesses paying the London Living Wage and our town centres are thriving. With our partners in the BIDs, business networks, Chambers of Commerce and the Southwark Business Forum, every day we are demonstrating that we are a borough that is open for business.

Our ambition is that Southwark is a growth borough, where business thrives and prospers. To achieve this we will:

• Encourage business growth in Southwark’s regeneration areas by pro-actively engaging with investors and developers, marketing Southwark as a place to do business • Protect viable employment land and encourage its development to meet current and future business needs through the use of strong and effective planning policies • Provide 500 new creative and small business units by 2018, by encouraging developers to include work space as early as possible in the planning process and setting out clear requirements for its provision • Invest in our relationships with large and small businesses through the Southwark Business Forum and other key business networks including BIDs, the Chamber of Commerce and others • Ensure our customer access strategy recognises business as valued customers, which are provided with responsive, quality services that meet their needs • Listen to and understand the skills needs of our employers, broker relationships with local providers and ensure training provision responds accordingly • Invest in and encourage the development of affordable and flexible workspace that meets the needs of start-up and growing businesses • Support small businesses to grow by providing information, advice and guidance through the business portal and through targeted programmes of support such as SEEDS

I look forward to working together with you to make Southwark an even better place for businesses to start, grow and succeed.

Councillor Johnson Situ, Cabinet Member for Business, Employment and Culture

THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE FORMER SOUTHWARK TOWN HALL BY ALUMNO DEMONSTRATES THE IMPORTANCE OF WORKING WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Alumno and their main contractor HG Construction have completed the radical and visionary redesign of the former Southwark Town Hall, now known as the Alumno Building.

The Alumno approach is rooted in community-based participation, and involves the planning, design, management and programming of shared use spaces. We have successfully delivered student housing and mixed-use developments throughout the UK for the past 10 years and have used this experience to fully realize the potential of the town hall building.

The Alumno Building opened in September and provides a new home for students studying at the world famous Goldsmiths, University of London and affordable artists studios managed by SPACE studios. The building also provides a new, modern and state-of-the-art children’s theatre. “Theatre Peckham“ will continue to provide and run courses and workshops which offer significant opportunities to local young people to engage with the creative arts from an early age.

3037193 Thriving Town Centres and High Streets 26 3 Southwark boasts some of London’s 27 most diverse and exciting town centres. Our high streets continue to adapt well to changing retail behaviours, retail space is well used and demand remains high. A visit to a Southwark high street or town centre is a great experience, whether to shop, spend leisure or family time, work or do business.

Successful town centres depend on a large range of components, and the council and its partners, including BIDs, can do much to help. We will continue to facilitate effective BIDS and town centre networks, bringing together those with an interest in successful town centres.

Financial Wellbeing 429

www.southwark.gov.uk 30 Southwark champions the Living Wage as set by the Living Wage Foundation. A fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work is essential in ensuring that people in Southwark can fully participate in and benefit from a high skill, high wage, and highly productive local economy.

We will continue to work to promote workers’ rights and union membership, targeting exploitative employment practices that reduce people’s income and job security. In particular we will seek to protect employment rights from any threats arising from the UK’s exit from the EU.

We know that the implementation of welfare reforms and the increase in low-paid work are causing difficulties for some. Supporting individuals to understand and manage the impacts of all these welfare reform changes; to be more able to address the complex issues in their lives; and to be financially sustainable and free of debt are crucial steps to improving the lives of our residents.
