Ep 1. SME Focus with: Elliot Awin, ABS Wine Agencies
Description
We want to give SMEs a voice and highlight the issues they're facing on a daily basis, their opinions on business banking, how technology is impacting their business.
To kick things off we invited Elliot Awin from ABS Wine Agencies, six-time winner of the coveted IWSC Wine Importer of the Year, who certainly knows a thing or two about wine.
As well as asking about his favourite red and what wine is trending this year, Andrew Frost sits down with Elliot to discuss how the day to day running of the business is changing, the impacts of Covid-19, the importance of business banking relationships and what can banks do more of to service the needs of UK SMEs.
If your an SME and want to talk to us about business banking and the challenges SMEs face today and in the future, get in touch with us: thomas.cheung@form3.tech
