Award-winning Sheffield young entrepreneur supports businesses during lockdown

Harvey Morton, who was a finalist in last year's The Star small b usiness awards, could see firms needed support and instantly slashed the prices of his packages by up to 50 per cent, so he could help businesses when they needed him the most.

His coronavirus packages have been welcomed by the business community and he has written 43,267 words of social media content for businesses in need, built and launched 11 websites and supported more than 30 firms in total, including estate agents, recruitment agencies , independent cafes and coffee shops.

He said: “The media is papered with stories of economic crisis and fear, yet that’s not necessarily the truest picture of what’s happening.

“In the last 12 weeks, I have been able to support and help businesses to keep going. While large corporations may have ground to a halt, many small businesses have been able to keep going under the toughest of circumstances.”

Harvey reduced the price of four of his core packages, including an e-commerce web package – by up to 50 per cent, but it was critical to Harvey to support small and microbusinesses.

He said: “When something as huge as the pandemic struck, it was hard to know what to do to make the most difference to others.

“There’s a great, natural need to help people and, for me, this meant making my offer more relevant to struggling businesses was the only way forward.

“I’ve been really touched by the response to my coronavirus packages, because I know that it has helped so many small businesses and start-ups to stay present.”

Harvey was named the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed’s young freelancer of the year 2018 and is the founder of Harvey Morton Digital.

Over the past 12 months, he has appeared on BBC Radio and in The Sun newspaper.
