| When the UK economy was officially declared in recession back in January 2009, few among us thought we would still be here two years on, or that the wounds would still be so raw today as they were back then.
Two years in, with a new government in place in London, an election coming round the corner in the Republic, and our own Assembly election on the way in the Spring - many are asking how long will it take for some semblance of normality to return: or is what we are experiencing the new business as usual?
Leading chartered accountants and business recovery advisors, Cavanagh Kelly, are pleased to announce a series of seminars which will provide you with the guidance you need to ensure your business is best placed to come through the recession, and indeed be placed at the forefront of your sector to ensure sustained success when the tide turns.
With leading economic commentators present at each event, attendees will hear first-hand how the economy is currently performing, what the horizon holds in terms of economic outlook, and which sectors are outperforming others.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn from specialist advisors
Cavanagh Kelly on how struggling businesses have been helped to restructure and rebuild in challenging times and successfully survived to come through much leaner and meaner than before.
There will also be an opportunity to hear what funding opportunities are available for businesses across all sectors.
Spaces are limited - to register your attendance, please reply to
