City to boost Square Mile

City to boost Square Mile’s recovery with fund for SMEs Catherine McGuinness, Policy Chair of the City of London Corporation, details in a piece for City AM a new Covid Business Recovery Fund to help underpin the Square Mile’s economic recovery. “The scheme is designed to support SME businesses which contribute to the Square Mile’s vibrancy at street level and directly provide services to returning City workers, visitors and residents.” McGuinness adds that most workers are keen to return to the Square Mile while City leaders have stressed their commitment to central London office space. She concludes: “The vibrancy of our unique ecosystem relies on each part of the City community – multinational businesses to domestic SMEs, international workers to local residents – working in partnership. Together we can bring back the buzz of life in the Square Mile.”
