The Covid-19 pandemic has created huge challenges for businesses, but in many cases there have also been opportunities to adapt and seek new income revenues.
If your company has a coronavirus success story, we’d love to hear from you.
The 2020 Hunts Post Business Awards has launched a new award category to recognise the difficult trading conditions and the measures businesses have taken to stay afloat.
We want to hear from businesses who have either adapted their own business model or supported the community through the uncertainty of the pandemic.
Whether you’re a manufacturer who has been making PPE; a catering firm who has been providing lunches for frontline workers or even if you have found your company has been able to reduce local unemployment levels by hiring more staff during this time of crisis, we would love to hear your stories and experiences.
If you want to enter, think about the following:
* How has your business reacted to Covid-19?

Hunts Post editor, Debbie Davies, said: “We know lots of businesses out there have struggled and many are still facing difficult times and uncertainty, but we want to celebrate the success stories and recognise all the hard work.
“It would be great to hear from businesses who have adapted their factories and work spaces to support the frontline.
“There are also lots of companies who have managed to continued trading and we would love to hear how they managed to do that.
