DEBORAH MEADEN: Escape from Downturn Abbey

Which businesses could dig Britain out of the COVID recession? What will industry need to do to adapt to a new, socially-distanced reality? What are all those people involved in hospitality, services and entertainment going to do for a living? And is this a good time to start a business? Entrepreneur, investor and original mother of dragons DEBORAH MEADEN talks to Alex Andreou about the blank slate that is post-COVID business.

• “There are very few moments in business where everything changes. And this is one of them.”
• “We might find that we’ve changed forever how we go out and socialise in pubs or restaurants.”
• “My businesses have been through a scary moment. But now it’s become an exciting moment for us.”
• “You NEVER do everything at once in business. And with Brexit the Government is trying to do exactly that.” 
• “There’s no point in having your money sitting in the bank right now. Get it out. Get it working.”
