Especialistas em um hub de suporte de negócios na Universidade de Lancashire (UCLAN) estão pedindo às PME que colaborem para sobreviver e prosperar nos tempos desafiadores da frente. Alison Hitchen, gerente do centro, está pedindo às PME na região que se juntem à comunidade em crescimento a colaborar, aprender com a pandemia e trabalharem juntos para ajudar a superar o que está por vir durante a recuperação econômica. As cadeias mudando junto com os processos de negócios, o centro fornece uma porta de entrada para a riqueza de apoio disponível na Universidade. A comunidade fornece um centro de suporte para as diversas questões que eles enfrentam.

The Centre for SME Development has already delivered funding from external sources to the value of £10m in business support projects and is on track to assist and grow more than 1,000 SMEs in Lancashire.
Now Alison Hitchen, centre manager, is calling on SMEs in the region to join the growing community to collaborate, learn from the pandemic and work together to help get through what lies ahead during the economic recovery.
She said: “The various challenges facing SMEs of all sizes can be daunting. Bringing the business community together unlocks a wealth of expertise and experience that we can all learn from and apply. With future funding and grant support uncertain, and supply chains changing along with business processes, the centre provides a gateway to the wealth of support available from the University.
“The SME community is indeed getting back to business in Lancashire, and it is helping itself by working together, engaging in problem solving and collaborating but more businesses can tap into this support.
“Centre membership is part of UCLan’s support for small and medium businesses. The community provides a support hub for the diverse issues they face. Here, they can exchange experiences – and ideas – about new ways of working, re-structuring and what the future may look like. The good news is that we’re all in this together.”
