Technology key as online work stays the norm

With communication technology playing a major part in business success during the coronavirus pandemic, Alan Lees spoke to the audience about what BT is doing across Scotland.

He said that despite the majority of the country being forced to work from home for the last six months BT was still running at less than 60% capacity, even at times of peak flow.

Darren Johnson, head of engagement, investment consultancy at St James’s Place Wealth Management, said from a recovery perspective it was important to recognise that risks existed, and still remain, pre-covid.

He said: “We should not look at it as if the world was a safe haven until this virus hit seven months ago and knocked us all for six.

“Any wealth manager has to navigate through a number of risks and not just the one the press is talking about at the time.”
