2. Business Support Webinars

During 2020 and 2021 we have delivered a series of online business support and growth webinars in 40 towns and cities. This included updates on the latest legislation, business support, growth and pivoting ideas, budgeting, fundraising, marketing, risk assessments, staff training and making the most out of digital opportunities.

This is what our clients have said 

Principle Licensing Officer “These webinars have been invaluable to our businesses, attendance has been great. The topics and presenters have been very interesting and it will be useful for us when advising our licence holders also.  There were some really good practical ideas that they can put in place.  Let’s hope that hospitality businesses take those ideas on board!”

Simon, bar and restaurant owner of 5 venues “I can’t thank Jo and her team enough, their regular monthly webinar’s have been a lifesaver for me as a small business owner, I was finding all the changing information overwhelming but they simplified everything and made it easy to digest and implement. They were always swift to respond to my questions between sessions, and I’m grateful we had this support and hope it continues as we move into a post covid era”
