The idea of the ‘Perfect Day’ is for the whole town to come together for one special day to work towards making the town 'look & feel' the best it possibly can! The BID is coordinating a programme of jet washing and working with Trafford Council's contractors to focus on the appearance of the town centre. The BID is also partnering with six local schools on the 'Eco Schools' education programme and with 'Our Altrincham' on voluntary litter picks. We all know that great customer service and a tidy environment leads to increased sales but a review of how you're doing can be really helpful. If your business would like to take advantage of any of the support tools available please see below. This opportunity is available for all businesses including professional services. How can your business get involved with 'Perfect Day'?
