How has your business dealt with the lock down, what steps did you take?
How will social distancing effect your business, what plans do you have in place?
Furloughing everyone was the first thing we did.
The million-dollar question is still the 1m vs 2m. Our sites are not huge, so this will make a big difference. We are evaluating different scenarios but waiting eagerly what the new Guidelines will be.
Then it has been really a case of navigating all the madness to try and take the best decisions for the future of the business with the limited information available and all the different moving targets! From funding to rent, the 2m. vs 1m. question mark. All these points will determine when we will be able to re-open and how. I think everyone is on the same boat.
How are you keeping engaged with staff at this time? I have a weekly catch up call with my management team, and we connect with the rest of the team on a regular basis via WhatsApp.
What trends are you seeing to come out this time? Acceleration of technology in our space, which we are already seeing change at a fast pace, this will bring changes that are difficult to predict, but these will be here to stay. I also think people's habits will temporarily change to cooking more at home, but I believe people will want to go back to going out on a regular basis to see friends and family. In the end we are social beings!
What’s been your biggest surprise for the company in a positive way? The good and positive attitude of my management team in the face of uncertainty. And our capacity to adapt to extremely hard circumstances
