Impact Report

For many businesses in Oxfordshire, the spring of 2021 was loaded with the expectation of emerging from a COVID-19 enforced hibernation. One year on from the first lockdown that so badly affected people, communities and businesses, the restrictions were lifting and mass vaccinations were promising a roadmap to recovery.

There are over 43,000 businesses registered in Oxfordshire, at least 99% of which are SMEs. Every one of these businesses had been impacted by COVID-19 in one way or another and those reliant on face to face activities were the hardest hit.

OxLEP Business engages with businesses based on the support they say they need. This report showcases how OxLEP Business responded to those needs and shares some of the stories which describe the impact of that support on the Oxfordshire businesses .
