Nigel Reeve, of Marketing West Events, said: "Running a small business during the last 18 months has thrown up many issues that we haven't had to face before.

"There is no doubt many businesses have had a very hard time, but slowly the position looks brighter. However, there are many issues to still face.

"Business confidence is improving but the media still love running negative stories covering Covid and the still to be felt effects of Brexit. We are trying to tackle some of these issues, bringing together a range of specialist speakers to help and advise businesses."
