Absolutely devastating news. Sue was a beautiful and amazing lady. I had the absolute pleasure and honour to sit on the @gmcvo #hiddentalent Board with Sue. All @gmchamber @GMCC_SkillsTeam will miss Sue’s dedication and passion for helping our young people across GM.

[Joanne Roney CBE @joanneroney]

So very sad. Thoughts are with Sue’s family & friends.

[Joy Sewart @GMCC_Joy]

@GM_LPN Well done and much deserved!

📽We're working to make sure the support to help businesses affected by #Coronavirus is reaching the front line, starting with @BritishBBank's #CBILS scheme.

@BCCAdam highlights the key points👇

[BCC @britishchambers]

🗣️The Chancellor has given businesses room to breathe, but it is essential that support reaches businesses on the ground as soon as possible.

So pleased to see @RishiSunak @hmtreasury announce deferral of VAT payments for next quarter.

Keeps money in the pockets of businesses to pay their employees and suppliers - and keep the economy going.

This step will make an immediate difference on cash flow for many firms.

[Chris Fletcher @gmcc_fletch]

@AndyBurnhamGM on @bbcquestiontime quoting what @gmchamber told him earlier from our members that help to preserve cashflow the number one demand at present. Cash now = ability to pay staff and bills = survival = business ready to go when we get over it. Action now.
