We hope to issue another special edition soon to keep you updated and to try and support hospitality businesses at this challenging time, so please do get in touch with any contributions. We are also speaking to landlords and operators constantly to try and carve a way forward and will help in any way we can. Further support measures announced by the Government yesterday – 12 month business rates relief for all hospitality companies, an extension of the business interruption loan scheme and an increase in cash grants to small businesses, as well as a relaxation of planning rules to allow pubs and restaurants to become takeaways without planning permission – are all to be welcomed, but with a wave of closures and lay-offs announced yesterday this is a critical time for business owners and their staff. Let’s all do what we can to lend our support.
