March Drop-In Recap – What You Missed & What’s Next

On Monday 25th March, we hosted our first ever monthly Business Drop-In Session – and what a great start it was.

It was brilliant to catch up with a mix of Halifax business owners and staff face-to-face in a relaxed setting over a cuppa. These monthly sessions are our way of keeping communication open and making it easier for you to find out how Discover Halifax can support you – no long emails or jargon, just useful conversations and practical updates.

What We Covered

Launch of SEEDL – Free Online Training for Businesses

We were proud to officially launch SEEDL – a free online learning platform now available to all levy-paying businesses. You and your staff can access over 250 live and on-demand courses covering:

  • Marketing and digital skills
  • Health & safety
  • Food hygiene
  • Leadership and management
  • Wellbeing and mental health
  • and so much more….

This is a real game changer for upskilling your team, whether you’re a shop floor manager or just starting out.

Your 2025 Business Overview

We walked through the Year Ahead Plan – a handy guide to what’s happening in town each month and how your business can get involved. From seasonal events like a Jurassic Summer in Halifax and Yorkshire Day to Christmas in Halifax, there are loads of opportunities to tap into wider footfall and boost visibility.
