Positive news amidst the coronavirus crisis
Before we dive in to this week’s roundup, we’d like to share some positive feedback we’ve had from some of you high street business owners this week.
It was really refreshing to hear real life stories about the high streets and knowing that what we’re doing is making a difference, despite all the bad news we’re all seeing every day related to COVID-19.
Below, you can find a short clip of Richard from RJ Balson Butchers in Bridport, Dorset, telling us a bit about how his business is adapting to meet the new demands of his community.
We also received this great feedback from David, owner of MonTeas in Monmouth, Wales:
“My personal confidence and assurance has increased by observing, listening and following the guidance that all of you have been providing. Thank you seems not enough but rest assured it’s huge.”
Thank YOU, high street business owners, for taking on this challenge in good spirits!
If you’re an independent high street business owner, local champion or authority or simply care about the future of your local high street, feel free to send your thoughts on the current situation and what’s working for you, as well as what you’re doing to prepare for the future to chloe@joinjo.com!
We’ll be sharing these responses with our industry-wide community, so it’s a great opportunity for getting your business and expertise seen by thousands of people, as well as supporting other high street business owners.
