Innovair triumphs over COVID-19 challenges

About the business

Innovair, which develops state-of-the-art survey and inspection technology to help companies across many industries overcome challenges in difficult working environments, was experiencing considerable growth until the pandemic struck.

How Business Gateway has helped

Business Gateway has supported Innovair both before COVID-19 and through lockdown. Before the pandemic, Business Gateway worked with the team to provide a strategic business review and advice on company regulations, marketing, financial restructuring and exporting abroad. The organisation was also assisting the firm with its plans to take on larger premises to accommodate future growth when lockdown was introduced.

Stuart Lawson, Solutions Director at Innovair said, “The financial support has been a lifeline, as most of our work has been on hold since lockdown. It was worrying as the initial advice around funding and loans was not applicable to our industry and business, but despite this, Business Gateway was excellent at keeping us updated with the latest developments so that we were aware of what support was being announced and what would work best for our business needs.

What’s next?

The firm’s aim moving forward is to capitalise on establishing the firm internationally and has received interest from companies based in the Middle East.
