As we near what should be the usual half term break and the return to school for some children, we thought it would be useful to share a summary of what we have done over the last few months and our plans for the coming months.
What we have done…
We have sent numerous emails and updates. Here are the ones that we feel are most relevant at the moment…
- Bounce Back Loan Scheme – https://mailchi.mp/1c0a42d4fc86/bounce-back-loan-scheme
- Coronavirus Business Interruption Loans and Furloughing have been broadly covered but if you have any questions on either, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01733 371180.
We have organised a number of webinars. You will find the recordings on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7-QOT2B2tScL9lsDQqDK3g but two to note are…
- Sanjay Shah sharing his insights on Emotional Intelligence around the Coronavirus – https://youtu.be/aRnmrpCOCfE
- Steve Trister on How to be More Confident and Impactful on Video Calls – https://youtu.be/QEIVAl2Emek
We have also…
- Run regular “Coffee and Chats” – you will find the date for the next one at www.greenstones.co.uk/events
- Created a WhatsApp group to share instant updates and for business owners to support each other – you can join here https://chat.whatsapp.com/EVUUKPpyTiO6R3u1DGqHCS
- Posted regular updates to our Facebook group, Peterborough Business Community – you can join here www.greenstones.co.uk/community
On top of all that, we have submitted Furlough claims (FOC until now for our customers) totalling £668,561 for 488 employees and pulled together short-term cash flow forecasts for customers, where needed.
All in all, it has been a pretty full on couple of months for us.
What we are going to do next…
Obviously, the updates and the support for our customers and the wider business community will continue.
Next week, on Wednesday 27 May 2020 at 9:30am, we’ll be holding an online meeting and sharing all the ideas we have on How to Get and Keep Cash in Your Business. We’ll touch on the government grants but as we move into a more difficult trading environment, we feel it is important to start to focus on best practice and what you can do to protect yourself in the impending recession.
The week after, on Tuesday 02 June 2020 at 9:30am, we’ll run a second online meeting where we will share ideas on How to Increase the Profitability of Your Business.
Get those dates in the diary now and we’ll send an invite to reserve your seat shortly.
We are here to support you…
In addition to the above, we’ll gladly set up online meetings to help you as best we can, on any subject you like (we’ll either share our knowledge or find another expert in the field).
So, if there is something that springs to mind, please email Nicola@greenstones.co.uk and tell us what it is. We’ll then do the best we can to organise it.
