New Business Connect advisors to help hard-hit industries
Small businesses in industries hit hard by COVID-19, including retail, food and tourism services, are set to benefit with 40 new Business Connect advisors being deployed across NSW to help provide valuable advice and guidance – media release attached. Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the new advisors, based both in metropolitan and regional areas, would help small businesses navigate the difficult trading conditions.
