Barclays Commercial Bank launches a new initiative to assist its 81,000 business clients in battling recession.

The Turning the Corner programme combines practical guidance, workshops, industry discussions and networking events to offer business owners and managers specific skills and knowledge that will assist them in meeting the unique challenges, and identifying potential opportunities, the current recession presents.

“We are acutely aware of our responsibilities in the current environment and we remain committed to creating and maintaining a platform for our clients to succeed,” says David Marks, managing director, Barclays Commercial Bank , England and Wales.

“Of course this means continuing to lend, which we are well placed to do as we remain well capitalised with a strong balance sheet. We are also working closely with Government to support initiatives such as the EFG.”

“But it also means adding value by providing practical guidance and information, and connecting businesses with like minded peers so they can share learning on how to adapt their businesses to the specific challenges of operating in a recession. By offering our clients specific financial solutions and highlighting options for building more efficient operations, we believe their businesses will be better positioned when the economy recovers.”
