We’re very sad and shocked to hear about the forced closure of Market Village in Stratford, E15, due to Stratford Market Properties Ltd going into administration.

We’re pleased to inform you Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz, since her meeting with all the traders, has sent an urgent letter to, Cowgills, the company responsible for dealing with the Administration of Stratford Market Properties Ltd. You can read a copy of the letter here, outlining all the reasons why the Village Market site needs to be back up and running. 

If you are a trader from Market Village, please get in contact with us to see how we can support you. You can email us or call us on 020 33737 7373.

Business Survey

“It is an asset for the Council to have the likes of B&E support available to SMEs, especially the personal service from the team members”. Meena Joshi - Aardra Systems Ltd

The B&E team have always been so helpful with the support they provide, all team members are full of energy, kind and always informative. It motivates businesses to deal with the team and ask for help when needed when there's a great team in place. There should always be a team like this delivering business support.” Laurie Nichols – Laurie Fitness and Training
