LGBT Foundation has supported the needs of the local LGBT community in Manchester for over 40 years. So, when their headquarters closed during lockdown, they had to find a new way to offer their services.
By switching to remote working and using O2’s flexible plans and digital services, they were able to expand their workforce and support people all over the UK.
Liverpool Arts Bar offers a safe space to support the local art scene, with live music, art classes and performances. When the pandemic hit and they had to close, they turned a negative situation into a positive one. With help from O2, they moved their live events business online and trebled their audience in the process.
One Box Meals, the UK’s first Caribbean meal kit delivery service, is a small family business that launched during lockdown. Sisters Dionne, Candice and Carleen needed to balance their work and family commitments, while getting their new business off the ground.
Switching from a personal to a business contract with O2 gave One Box Meals added flexibility, helping them to build the customer relationships they’ve become famous for.
