While the recent lifting of COVID-19 restrictions has led to a relative upswing in activity across a wide range of sectors, Eyetech Ltd Managing Director Patrick Cutajar says that the firm has seen a “a slight increase in day-to-day support calls”, but that these amounts were a far cry from what they had been at the beginning of the year.

In comments to The Malta Business Observer, Mr Cutajar says that the firm’s worry remains the same as it was during the peak of the pandemic: “if business does not pick up, we will have to struggle a bit more to continue to stay afloat,” he attests, saying that Eyetech Ltd were not classified under either Annex A or B in the Government incentives.

Moreover, “with regards to wage supplements that are given to our clients, this did not have either a positive nor a negative effect to our business.” 

Looking ahead, Mr Cutajar expressed optimism that, with the opening of the airport, “we’ll see improvements in our clients’ purchasing power, through the sales they generate.”
