COVID-19 Resilience: Food and Drink Manufacturers Self-Assessment


This self-assessment tool has been developed by organisations that specialise in supporting Welsh food and drink companies to improve performance in key areas such as sales, marketing and technical.


The results of the self-assessment are not expected to be shared outside of the business but are intended to be a useful tool to identify the areas of the operation that may benefit from specialist support.
