Have Yourself A Very Chiswick Christmas 2010

ChiswickW4.com has put together a guide to Christmas in Chiswick featuring gift ideas and dining experiences offered by local businesses.

There's no need to traipse into town when gifts for every member of the family can be purchased right here on your doorstep.

Discerning shoppers will find great value and choice in our local shops without the hassle and fuss of going to the West End. In fact, many local businesses offer home delivery, too, so you can shop from the comfort of your own home, safe in the knowledge that you are 'being green'.

And we've even done some of the hard work for you. Below is listed some of the very best that's on offer in the local area for the festive season.

Travelling over the festive period? Why risk a crowded train journey or a breakdown on the motorway when you can borrow any car from the Peugeot range? We even hire accessories like sat-navs to make sure you arrive on time. Whatever your plans, drive safely this Christmas with a car from Peugeot.

What would happen if Santa called in sick on December 24? Everything is running smoothly, all deadlines are being met, then suddenly a key member of staff phones in sick. It could make a world of difference. What can you do? Along with the pressures of running a small business, managers are often thrown into the role of dealing with a range of complex health issues, such as coping with an employee who is off work for a long period of time with back pain, or someone who frequently takes days off sick, or trying to support a staff member who wants to keep working but has physical or mental ill health concerns.

NHS Plus now runs a FREE, confidential Adviceline that will connect you with a health expert on all physical and mental ill-health issues. Rather than just directing staff to their GP, you can call 0800 0 77 88 44 for immediate advice. We know all about the new Fit Note too. For further info and to find out how much sickness absence could be costing your business, go to www.health4work.nhs.uk. We’re here to help.
