    Striving, surviving and thriving: the UK's small businesses 12 months on

    Exactly a year ago BackinBusiness launched its podcast to give small businesses a voice throughout the Covid pandemic. Little did we think then that we'd still be around a year later hearing from small business people about the trials and tribulations of keeping their heads above water yet planning ahead with optimism. We look back over the 12 months with Mark Hart Professor of entrepreneurship at Aston University, Richard Lambert, CEO of the National Hair and Beauty Federation and Keith McAvoy of the Seven Brothers Brewery in Salford (think 2 bars in Manchester City Centre and beer made from Coco Pops and Rice Krispies amongst other things).
