Sussex Business Heroes

Sussex Chamber has today launched a search to find those companies and individuals who are going the extra mile to help support people, places, products and of course frontline key workers during the current Coronavirus crisis.

“We have decided to launch a search for those Sussex Business Heroes after hearing so many incredible stories from businesses across our region,” explained Chamber CEO, Ana Christie, “This campaign will help to highlight some of the tremendous work efforts of people and companies in the area, giving recognition to their hard work, tenacity and kindness.”

The Chamber is looking for those companies, and individuals, who are going above and beyond to help out during the current crisis, those companies pivoting their production lines to help manufacture critical parts, helping local NHS hospitals and care services or lending a hand to support the more vulnerable in their neighbourhoods.

Showcasing across all social media channels in the coming weeks and featuring in our Business Edge magazine, the Chamber’s business magazine, we will help tell the stories of those undertaking incredible work in communities across the Sussex county and beyond during this difficult time.
