With restrictions easing across the UK, life is<br />

slowly returning to normal. More relieved<br />

than most are the owners of businesses<br />

that have had to close their doors during the lockdowns,<br />

in particular those businesses in the hospitality, personal<br />

care and non-essential retail sector.<br />

Owners of small businesses like these often exist on next<br />

to nothing in their business’s formative years with the<br />

plan that rewards will follow if the business succeeds.<br />

During the pandemic, many businesses, particularly the<br />

newer ones, were faced with a life-changing ‘stick or<br />

twist’ decision. Some threw in their cards whilst others<br />

are hanging on in the hope that the easing of restrictions<br />

brings a change in fortunes. Your support can help.<br />

Let’s also be patient with our hospitality industry when<br />

it opens up. Ordering perishable supplies when there is<br />

no trading pattern of post-pandemic sales, training new<br />

staff to replace those who left, keeping customers safe by<br />

ensuring social distancing rules are in place, and having<br />

to keep records of everyone who walks through the door<br />

is not an easy task.<br />

Walking into your favourite pub and restaurant and<br />

expecting the quality of food and the ambience to be<br />

perfect from Day 1 post-lockdown is like expecting your<br />

team’s star player to be at peak form on the first day of<br />

pre-season training. To achieve perfection takes time.<br />
