Xmas special: Westside businesses get festive visit from the man in red!

Businesses on Westside got a real festive surprise this week when Santa Claus paid them a visit.

The ‘man in red’ delivered presents across the Westside Business Improvement District (BID) with the help of his trusty elves (more commonly known as the BID’s Luisa and Elaine), plus and the Grinch (Kassim Sagheer).

Together they distributed over 200 gifts to hardworking staff on Westside to celebrate the festivities as businesses prepared to break up for the season.  You can watch our video about Santa’s special visits here:

The initiative, part of Westside’s well-being programme, aimed to brighten colleagues’ day by spreading festive cheer.

Luisa Huggins, Westside BID’s media and communications manager said: “This has been a tremendous success and it’s been great to witness people looking so happy and joyous!

“We were thrilled to be able to contribute to this and hope our businesses enjoyed this treat.”
