Business networking group Mansfield and Ashfield 2020 is appealing for information from local businesses as it tries to plan ahead for supporting businesses as coronavirus lockdown restrictions are eased.

2020 needs to know where local businesses are currently sitting on the business ladder from on the bottom rung and struggling to climbing up towards success.

Chair Gary Jordan said: “The information we gather is to allow MA2020 to focus on the best ways that we can support local businesses as we come out of lockdown, how we look at needs for the next three to six months and what are the business hotspot issues – HR, finance, marketing, skills, staff etc?”

Information and comments should be emailed to Gary at [email protected] or Ella McManus at [email protected]
