Bears appear on Thames Street

We've sadly had to say goodbye to a long-standing friend and live-in guest at Riverside, Emem the nest-making Chimp, who can now be found with the rest of her friends up at Eagle Brewery Wharf.

Although we're sad to have lost Emem we are delighted with a couple of new visitors, the Bears near us on Thames Street and outside FuseBox. These wonderful installations are all thanks to our friends at Kingston First, these artworks attract visitors into and around Kingston which have delighted us and our customers.

We are also preparing for our programme of summer live music events, which will take place on our boat, the Seven Saxons after really positive feedback from last summer.

The music evenings are free to the public, from 7-9pm every alternate Thursday from Thursday 16th May. Keep an eye on our social channels and website for more information.

The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS), commonly referred to as ‘furlough’ was introduced by the UK Government in March 2020. While relatively unheard of prior to the pandemic we have, since March 2020, been consistently hearing or using this word.

In this article Sheetul Sowdagar from Russell-Cooke gives some top tips to wrap your head around furlough fraud and dealing with enquiries.
