The survey is being carried out by the research team at Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce. It aims to bring to light the real impact of the recent challenges and opportunities as owners and managers now look to the future.

Jaslin Bhagrath, head of accounting and business solutions at Henderson Loggie, said: “We need to really understand what is keeping business owners awake at night and how management teams are adapting to the new business environment with its recruitment challenges, rising costs and increasing pressures to meet net zero goals. ‘

“By asking respondents to open up on how the ‘new normal’ is impacting daily business life we aim to get to the heart of the issues that matter, from the economy to attracting and retaining a happy workforce. We will then share our findings so that we can then come together as a community to develop better support and innovative and workable solutions.”
