Upstream founder Judith Totten
Upstream has launched the new collaboration with credit insurance broker Willis Towers Watson.
Upstream founder and managing director Judith Totten said many companies in Northern Ireland are constrained due to tightening lending criteria by traditional lending institutions and a slowing down in payment terms from their customers. We have all endured months of uncertainty and challenge, but as ever, the Northern Ireland population has proven its resilience and determination to ‘batten down the hatches’ and get through to the other side, she added. Two things throughout this whole period have not changed though – the need for cash and the need for happy, safe and motivated teams.
