Chamber urging businesses to ‘look out for each other’ during pandemic

Businesses in the region should look out for each other in terms of adhering to guidelines, the CEO of County Meath Chamber has said.

Paula McCaul said that such a collective caring will protect all the communities in Meath.

“Our Chamber network has developed a clear message for companies to ensure every effort is made to maintain business activity in Meath.

“The key message from us as a Chamber is; step back, re-double your efforts as a company to ensure you are adhering to the guidelines. Don’t relax, cut corners, review your policies, your PPE stocks and your own procedures.

“Step up; Having now operated for a while under the guidelines set out, you may have seen better ways to ensure compliance, or perhaps have implemented practical solutions that have worked for you and may benefit others.

“Step in; If you are aware of another business who is finding it difficult to maintain compliance with the guidelines, step in to support them. There is no blame, we are all learning how to cope with this new way of operating our businesses.”

Ms McCaul said it was the role of the Chamber is to connect, support and represent business in Meath.

“We are your champion as we work together to try and protect businesses through this exceptional time. This is not about one sector, one geographic territory or business size. This is about the collective, our doors are open and our phone lines are live, so please reach out if you need support or further guidance. Let’s continue to work together to Keep Meath Safe”.
