said: “Our aim is to offer businesses as much accessible support as we can during these challenging times. By listening to our members and working with our partners to tailor support to match current needs, the team has done a great job in creating an engaging, topical and informative online events programme. “Aside from guiding businesses to the


other side of this crisis, we also want to encourage businesses to keep connecting and communicating, to maintain those conversations and boost morale. It has been great to see many people embrace online networking to keep the business community talking. “We have been overwhelmed by the


positive feedback and engagement we have received for the online events so far and I look forward to seeing what our programme for the next few weeks has to offer.”
