Organisations to discuss overcoming the impact of Covid-19 on business

BUSINESSES throughout the North-east have an opportunity to discuss strategies for surviving the Covid-19 pandemic with a free webinar.

The Scottish Business Resilience Centre (SBRC) will host the event on Wednesday (April 29) and it will be led by Graeme Gordon, CEO of Aberdeen-based digital services provider IFB.

He will provide guidance on what organisations should do and how they can prepare themselves for the resumption of business.

Other speakers include Cameron Gordon, The Data Lab business development executive, Elizabeth Gammie, head of Aberdeen Business School and Paul Atkinson,Par Equity founding partner.

Jude McCorry, SBRC chief executive officer, said: “The challenges businesses are facing during this pandemic cannot be understated.

“Despite all our frustrations with this new reality, it is so encouraging to see the business community in Aberdeen coming together. This is a real opportunity to highlight how businesses can support each other.

“Communicating, looking after staff, and managing your finances are the three key areas to surviving this crisis. This webinar will give businesses the tools they need to focus on these areas and come out the other side strong.”

Graeme Gordon added: “In these most disconnected of times, webinars are a great way to bring people and business together with a common purpose: supporting, collaborating, and surviving this pandemic through sharing solutions.

“There has never been a better time to ask a customer, supplier, friend, or even competitor what they are doing and learn from their actions. This SBRC webinar is a vital resource for Aberdonian businesses looking to explore their options.”

The SBRC began running webinars in March 2020.

Over 1,000 members of the Scottish business community have attended so far, with topics including finance, legal, marketing, security, and leadership and people.
