And these are only the ones that have been in touch with Business Gateway. 

“The team at Moray Business Gateway have been working flat out since the start of the pandemic to support existing businesses and to help those looking to start up on their own. They deserve huge credit for their efforts – these new start ups have been helped along the way by Moray Business Gateway’s intervention.
