EDITOR ’ S NOTE
Let me begin with a HUGE thank you to all of our advertisers who ’ ve continued to support The Business Exchange through these very challenging times . We ’ re incredibly proud to still be here , still printing and still online , when many publishers have shut their doors . We were determined to up our game throughout the crisis keeping our readers updated with the latest news and information . Since 23rd March we ’ ve seen an increase in web traffic of up to 170 per cent which shows our efforts haven ’ t gone unnoticed . We also offered free copies of our magazines delivered to people ’ s homes . We had hundreds of requests and
Community voices Business leaders give their experience of Covid-19
loved seeing the social media posts of our readers enjoying their copies at home .
The last few months have been a test for us all and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of this wonderfully caring and kind business community . We ’ ve all rallied for one another , looking out for signs that someone might be having a bit of a wobble , then picking up the phone and checking in . We ’ ve taken it in turns to scoop each other up on a low day and that ’ s amazing . I ’ ve seen nothing like it before and it makes me feel so very comforted to know that so many of you have got my back , as I ’ ve got yours .
This edition is all about business and community coming together , from our cover story thanking our local hospital and its staff ( turn to page 4 ), to pages 6-7
More news at : www . tbeswindonandwilts . co . uk and www . tbebathandsomerset . co . uk
We ’ re open for business Firms raring to go as we get ready for lift-off from lockdown
where we recognise those offering ethical inspiration in business .
If there is a ‘ new normal ’ I hope that this sense of community stays . By sticking together this region will continue to survive and thrive .
Keep safe and stay positive .

EDITOR’S NOTE
Let me begin with a HUGE thank
you to all of our advertisers who’ve
continued to support The Business
Exchange through these very
challenging times. We’re incredibly
proud to still be here, still printing and
still online, when many publishers
have shut their doors.
We were determined to up our game
throughout the crisis keeping our
readers updated with the latest news and
information. Since 23rd March we’ve seen
an increase in web traffic of up to 170 per
cent which shows our efforts haven’t gone
unnoticed. We also offered free copies
of our magazines delivered to people’s
homes. We had hundreds of requests and
loved seeing the social media posts of our
readers enjoying their copies at home.
The last few months have been a test
for us all and I feel incredibly lucky to be
part of this wonderfully caring and kind
business community. We’ve all rallied for
one another, looking out for signs that
someone might be having a bit of a wobble,
then picking up the phone and checking in.
We’ve taken it in turns to scoop each other
up on a low day and that’s amazing. I’ve
seen nothing like it before and it makes me
feel so very comforted to know that so many
of you have got my back, as I’ve got yours.
This edition is all about business and
community coming together, from our
cover story thanking our local hospital
and its staff (turn to page 4), to pages 6-7
where we recognise those offering ethical
inspiration in business.
If there is a ‘new normal’ I hope that
this sense of community stays. By sticking
together this region will continue to survive
and thrive.
Keep safe and stay positive.
