Finance:
During the pandemic we had to reduce the size of the staff team in line with our financial posi- tion. However, coming out of the pandemic, our Board of Trustees have invested into our trading subsidiaries with the motive of ensuring that they make a return on this investment in the future. Our balance sheet and cash position in now very healthy and we are in a position to invest in our people and infrastructure to develop our already successful portfolio of operations into venues and bars to succeed in a post pandemic world.
