This is a very difficult time for Lancashire SMEs with the uncertainty of what the future holds. Our experience is that business owners are resilient, re-evaluating how to adapt and are willing to consider alternative solutions.
We have seen the rise of digital technology as a result of the pandemic with Microsoft Teams, Skype and Zoom meetings now the norm. The genie can’t be put back in the bottle, so Lancashire SMEs will need to embrace digital as an integral part of their business strategy.
