The RESTART Programme

The RESTART programme, run by The Export Department, provides a mixture of coaching and 'hands-on' support, uniquely tailored to participating businesses as they prepare to resume trading.

The aim of RESTART is to ensure that local businesses not only emerge more resilient from this crisis but are also optimally equipped to capitalise on the opportunities presented to them once the ‘green light’ is given and business can resume.

The programme consists of a mix of webinars and one to one support which can be found here.
