CBP Operational Readiness Survey Results - March 2021

This document contains the results of the Cairngorms Business Partnership (CBP) Operational Readiness Survey from March 2021. The survey, conducted between 25 February and 6 March 2021, gathered 145 responses from CBP members and other businesses, with 88% of respondents being CBP members. The survey explored how long it would take businesses to reach full operational capacity if restrictions were lifted, identifying that adapting to new Covid-19 regulations was a key barrier and that supply chain issues, recruitment, and lack of working capital were also significant concerns. The survey also touched on customer lead times, future employment trends, and the need for continued support to help businesses recover to pre-pandemic levels, particularly given the importance of tourism in the area.
