Thankfully Storm Eunice and Storm Franklin seem to be firmly behind us now and we’ve even had a brief appearance of the sun in Bideford today!
It’s heartening to see town so busy with people shopping in our many independent stores. With Covid restrictions coming to an end, we hope to see a return to normality for the retail and hospitality sector in the coming months.
Omicron-hit hospitality firms will only have until the end of this month to apply for grants worth up to £6,000. Please click here if you think this may apply to you. https://www.rtmarke.co.uk/blog/pw-news/grant-deadline-looms-for-hospitality-firms/
The Sustainable Business Resource
For businesses interested in becoming more ecologically sustainable, the not-for-profit organisation, The Sustainable Business Resource (The SBR), based in Barnstaple, has recently issued a press release. Having worked closely with Steve Roberts of Turnstyle Design Ltd, who is the founder of this initiative, we are pleased to support this scheme.
The SBR are initially focusing on manufacturing businesses in North Devon with more than 20 staff but are open to discuss plans with businesses of any sector or staff level.
