Welcome back to Coffee & Catchup! September marks the grand return of the hugely popular live online events hosted by Dorset Growth Hub’s Nick Gregory, answering questions and offering advice to hundreds of local businesses.

With an economic downturn on the horizon and energy prices at the centre of conversation, it’s high time to offer support to businesses needing assistance with the trying times ahead.

We bring together Low Carbon Dorset’s Heather Kiel, Barclays’ Danny Jones and Dorset Business Mentors’ Charles King to discuss the rising inflation, what we can learn from previous recessions, and what support is available for businesses’ energy costs.

This episode of The Dorset Growth Hub podcast covers:

• Implications of the recent ‘Mini-Budget’ on inflation
• Looking at prior recessions to help overcome the next one
• Energy price assistance available up until April 2023
• Details of resources for business support
