Businesses have had to deal with many issues over the last two years. Not knowing what was going to happen with the virus and the economy from one week to the next has made for a very difficult and worrying time.

Many companies have adapted, bringing in hybrid-working, new online forms of communication and new health & safety measures. The risks have been many and varied. Those companies that have survived have done so by being flexible and adaptable, often rethinking their business models.
