DKUK Newsletter September 2020

Dear Members & Friends,   We hope you have all had a lovely summer!   We are looking forward to welcoming all of you for a new exciting season of DKUK events. We have some very inspiring events coming up this Autumn but as we know, COVID-19 is still around us so for the time being we'll be meeting virtually and we hope you will still make good use of the network and beyond.   We are very pleased to have Neela Chauhan, UHY Hacker Young LLP, writing this month’s editorial offering highlights on issues concerning business turn around, government business grants, landlords and ways to help your business weather the Covid-19 storm    Furthermore, we are delighted to welcome Helena to the team and she will be working as the new intern at the Association. She will also be joining the DKUK YP Council and they too, have some very exciting events in the making, so make sure to stay tuned!   Kind regards,    DKUK Team (Deanne, Helena & Gunnar)
