Our panel of expert speakers will discuss lessons learned during the pandemic, in the importance of employee wellbeing and business adaptation, as businesses move forwards in recovery.

We will hear from three businesses (Sean Bailey Wellness, Habiba’s School of Spice, and Chester Zoo) who will talk about how they have adapted their businesses during this time of unexpected change. We will also hear from a member of university staff who has pivoted their event management role into a medical logistics role to help fight the pandemic.

As always with our Business Growth Club live events, you will be able to submit questions, and engage with our panel.
