Another example of a local manufacturing firm adapting to help fight Covid 19 Bloc Blinds in Magherafelt is going into production of safety masks for hospital workers on Monday. The company has a prototype + the production line can produce 22,000 of these a day

“Significantly worse for the NI economy than Theresa May’s deal” says Ulster Bank chief economist in NI

A good deal for hard Brexiteers. A bad deal for advocates of a soft Brexit and Remainers. Significantly worse for the NI economy than May's deal. More bureaucracy, red tape & complexity. Adding to the costs of doing business. NI to become a spectator on any UK trade deals?

Some personal news🤰🏻 A big thank you to my lovely colleagues for the send off on my last day before maternity leave🍼 Next month I will have a different job (with a tiny boss) but hoping years of early breakfast shifts will help prepare me for what is coming next - a BBC baby👶🏻
