Dear Chamber Member,

I hope you, your families, friends and colleagues are all well.

This past week we have welcomed the reopening of many businesses across the city and county, and it has been reassuring to see a fresh enthusiasm among consumers for exploring their local suppliers. We encourage everyone to #ChampionGreen and to support local when making purchasing decisions - in the workplace and at home.

For those preparing for and in the midst of reopening, remember that there are a variety of supports and grants available including:

• Restart Grant for SMEs
• Trading Online Voucher Scheme
• Enterprise Support Grant Available to Small Business Owners

In addition, there are guides and toolkits for reopening available such as:

• Return to Work Safely Protocol
• Assets from the HSA  

These, and many other resources are available on our dedicated Business Supports page <HERE>.

I would like to wish those of you returning to business every success. I welcome your thoughts on what challenges are facing your business in reopening so that we can build economic resilience for Cork, email me <HERE> or 087 9471858 or make contact with any of the team at Cork Chamber.

Take Care,

Conor
