Chamber eager to help Revive and Thrive plan
GUERNSEY’S Chamber of Commerce is keen to help turn the words in the Revive and Thrive recovery strategy into tangible results.
Next week the States of Guernsey will debate the report which outlines three focal elements: a sustainable economy plan, a health and care plan and a community plan.
Chamber said it is reassured to see that the main focus is on working with business groups to ensure that economic recovery is delivered through partnerships.
‘There is a vast amount of expertise and willingness in Chamber’s 640-strong business community across all sectors and the desire to “make things happen” is very strong,’ a spokesperson said.
‘We are delighted that, through [the island’s most senior politician Gavin St Pier’s] leadership, an agile response and effective time-lining will ensure that work can start soon to assist everyone in our island.’
The impacts of the Covid-19 crisis have been immensely felt in Guernsey and are likely to continue to affect our economy in the coming months.
Chamber said a swift response to address that major threat to livelihoods is extremely important and welcome.
Guernsey’s Chamber of Commerce has 18 industry groups full of experienced business people in all parts of the economy and can work as a single point of contact if required to provide practical solutions and effective use of proposed resources.
‘We are ready to start,’ they said.
