Minicab firm Addison Lee launches ‘GIVE A LIFT’ competition to small businesses

Addison Lee is promising to ‘Give A Lift’ to ten of London’s best small businesses – with a competition to win one of ten business accounts each with £500 of free journeys or courier deliveries to help them during these challenging times.

On their Facebook page, Addison Lee want to hear from London businesses and their customers about what makes them special and how the prize could help them adapt to the current circumstances. Whether it’s a local florist looking to branch out into deliveries, a baker with an oven-ready plan to move online, or a high street solicitor weighing up the case for getting staff safely into the office, Addison Lee wants to support small businesses in the capital.

Wesley Bishop, Addison Lee’s Commercial Director, said: “Small businesses are the lifeblood of London’s economy – family-run restaurants, specialist retailers and neighbourhood professional services all help make for vibrant high streets across the capital. As a business that’s supported London for 45 years, we want to help these pillars of the economy with Give A Lift. Hopefully, we can provide some support to companies looking to adapt in this challenging environment and keep our high streets thriving.”

To win a £500 prize of free journeys or deliveries, Addison Lee is asking for nominations from businesses within the M25 between 18 November to 1 December. Nominations from friends, family and customers of businesses are also welcomed.

Nominations can be submitted by following Addison Lee’s Facebook page, tagging the business in question and leaving a recommendation - telling Addison Lee what makes the business different and how the account would be used. Submissions will be reviewed by a panel of Addison Lee judges, with winners chosen on the strength of entry.

Full terms and conditions for ‘Give A Lift’ can be found on the Addison Lee website.
