Fiona Bryant, Director of Enterprise and Sustainable Development, said: “After a difficult few years for everyone and with challenging times ahead, we’re especially aware of the additional strain felt by local business leaders trying to ensure their businesses survive. In many ways, people are still not comfortable talking about mental health, and our hope is that through this series business leaders will be able to pick up useful tips and advice to help support their own, and their employees’ wellbeing, as they work to ensure their businesses thrive in the years ahead.”
