In Business: Adapt to Survive

Adapt to Survive

BBC Radio 4 - In Business, Adapt to Survive

Many businesses are struggling in the lockdown, but some are adapting to survive.

The lockdown hasn't been good for business. Many are struggling. Some are doing what they can to survive.

2020 hasn't been good for British business - certainly not since Covid-19 showed up. The global pandemic and the lockdown imposed to try to fight it have affected individual livelihoods and those of many companies. John Murphy talks to some business owners from different sectors of the economy - a family-run pub, a fruit farm, a fabric and haberdashery shop and a multinational - to see what changes they've experienced and how they have had to adapt during the crisis. They explain what they think the future will hold and, indeed, whether they will survive.
