Northern Ireland businesses braving the storm of rising costs
As a new financial year begins, many businesses in Northern Ireland will be facing increased costs such as wages, rates and water bills.
But despite rising bills, Robert Bell, managing director of SD Bells tea and coffee business in Belfast, remains optimistic.
"We were around when interest rates were up at 20%, so we'll survive it," he told BBC News NI.
"We'll make sure we navigate this storm like we've done the others."
