From restaurants offering take away services, or distilleries shifting to manufacturing sanitising products. It’s not only the core of the business operating environment that has changed – but going forward how will business recovery look?
When the world reopens, businesses may need new equipment to stay competitive and adapt to the renewed demand. Flexibility is key in times like this and leasing equipment over buying outright may be the only option available for many businesses
