Resource Hub
Coronavirus | COVID-19
As we move toward the ‘new abnormal’, the UK is evolving and taking tentative steps towards an increase in economic activity and recovery. If anything, this pandemic has proven just how innovative we are as a nation.
Continuing to operate through the COVID-19 crisis has been difficult for organisations across all sectors, with some industries being affected harder than others. However, business will continue. Even if it has to take a slightly different form. Step by step, each sector is starting to get back on their feet, working to rebuild the country’s economic strength. Construction and manufacturing businesses are creating essential stability in the supply chain, retail is starting to open its doors to customers again and hospitality and leisure are ready to follow.
To support business and people navigate their way out of lockdown, unlock their potential and make way for a brighter future, we have launched our guide to recovery and resilience - download today.
We hope you find this resource hub useful and welcome your feedback and questions. For legal support in relation to the coronavirus or any other matter, get in touch with your team today
For general business advice, see our guides and advice below or sign up to one of our latest webinars at SHMA® ON DEMAND.
