New 2026 Business Training Programme

Hands-on resilience workshops, free for members

Strengthen your business resilience with expert-led training

Our free business resilience training programme returns this March, offering members a dynamic series of interactive, in-person workshops designed to help West End businesses strengthen their safety, security, and operational confidence.

In a constantly changing urban environment, these sessions ensure your business stays ahead with the essential skills needed to operate effectively in a global city.

Led by frontline experts — from the Police Cyber Security Unit to the National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) — each session delivers practical, authoritative insight you and your team can put into action straight away.

What the programme covers:

  • Operational resilience: How to prepare for and respond to disruptions, incidents and evolving security threats.
