Resilience in the Northern Ireland business community

“They have risen to the challenge and remained agile which is enabling them to continue to operate and, importantly, to prepare for the future.
“The range of voices from different business types that you will hear from in the podcast series will equip listeners with the knowledge to help them recognise where their strengths lie.
“It will also offer first-hand insight into how other business owners have utilised their strengths to identify new opportunities to adapt against the backdrop of these difficult circumstances,” he adds.
Stories from business community on NI podcast “will resonate with listeners”
Series host Sarah Travers says there are many stories coming from the business community that will resonate with listeners.
“We have all adapted our daily lives in some way and the same is true for businesses and their owners.
“On high streets and in industrial parks across Northern Ireland, the business community has been working hard to adapt and to put in place practical measures to help us all to get back to business.
“Some are using their expertise and resources to help fellow businesses and other parts of society to reopen safely, and others are adapting their premises and services to cater for the consumer’s needs – all are adapting.
“We’re really excited to make these voices and stories heard,” she adds.
