We understand the instruction to reduce face-to-face contact in order to reduce the spread of infection – we also recognise that businesses need the ability to continue in some form.
During the pandemic we are vowing to be a source of pragmatic, practical and valuable guidance so our business community is able to fight the fight.
Join our series of interactive webinars to support your business and employees as we navigate the coronavirus crisis. We will be joined by an expert from within our membership to provide key insights into topical subjects and ensure your business questions are addressed.

Our renowned Marketing Oomph workshop is designed to help companies committed to environmentally-responsible business nail their marketing strategy. As the climate emergency deepens, businesses need to adapt to survive and thrive. We’re here to help you do that.
” It really was one of the most interesting, informative and fun workshops I have been to.”
The Covid 19 situation has also forced many businesses to consider how to improve their resilience, and many are exploring how they can reframe their marketing strategies and tactics. Selling online and utilising online tools will be crucial. We’ll help you get to grips with this changing landscape.
Now delivered virtually over four highly informative and engaging sessions.
14:00 PM - 15:00 PMWe have been working with Nesta, who are building a Sussex Skills Taxonomy, which will measure sector skill demands and identify and visualise significant skills shortages in the region.
In this workshop Nesta will present preliminary results from their analysis of job adverts in Sussex and the skills mentioned within these adverts.
They will be inviting feedback on the indicators that they are tracking, and they will be seeking ideas for additional indicators that would be useful for attendees.
