Dundee & Angus Chamber of Commerce has created a unique programme of support to help businesses feeling the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Partners for Business Programme will provide business-led support, inspiration and guidance to organisations.
The chamber’s enterprise and platinum partners from across private, public, education and third sectors, have formed a unique programme of support to help organisations who need guidance and a conversation to talk through the issues they may be facing.
Alison Henderson, chief executive of the chamber, said “At this time of intense change and challenge, we are proud that our partners have come together to extend that expertise and support to every local business who needs it.
“Whether a business wants to talk through implementing a programme of change in their business model, skills to empower their staff to develop new product lines or commercial resilience, or creating robust communication plans to ensure customers are fully engaged, our partners will have incredible resources and teams with the right skills to lend a supportive and knowledgeable ear.
“Being action-focused and strategic at times of crisis can always feel like a positive step, and now more than ever, businesses need to be planning for recovery and what happens when we are back to normal – whatever that new normal looks like.
“I’d encourage anyone who would like to talk things through to contact us to find out more.”
The programme will include expert speakers joining our webinar programmes on key topics and people sharing their knowledge and expertise in the View from the Bridge series.
Mentoring support may be as little or as much as a series of emails or phone-calls, or a one-off online meeting.
The chamber will facilitate the matching depending on what is required, such as financial management, product line innovation, succession planning, new manager support, commercial development, business development or sales and marketing.
