SIGNUP FOR COMPLIMENTARY EXECUTIVE BRIEFING


Complimentary Executive Briefing

How SMEs can Survive & Prosper​​

Covid-19 has been a massive economic shock, but it has been an economic performance of two very distinct types - some sectors have done very well, but others have really suffered. The recovery will be similar. Jim is very optimistic about global and domestic economic recovery, but for some sectors and some regions, the recovery process will be challenging and strong support will be required.

By Mr. Jim Power

Economist and Podcaster

 

Jim will also be joined by panellists Ciara Troy (Founder & MD, Oishii Foods Ltd) and Andy Mackin (CEO, Mackin Group)  who, as entrepreneurs, have first-hand experience of the challenges of SMEs in a Covid world.
