Support for business community - Coronavirus
The council continues to work on behalf of our business and communities to minimise the negative impact on the economy and ensure businesses have the support they need throughout coronavirus (COVID-19).
We are liaising closely with both the UK and Scottish Government and other partner organisations to deliver vital guidance and assistance.
We also share updates as they become available on Twitter and LinkedIn. If you have a specific request and wish to contact a member of the Aberdeenshire Economic Development team, please email econdev@aberdeenshire.gov.uk.
