Bira comments on relaxation of restrictions

Following the announcement that Covid-19 restrictions would ease in England from January 26, Bira ceo Andrew Goodacre stated: “It is a positive sign to see the Omicron wave abating, but we hope that the decision to remove some of the regulations is based on science rather that political reasoning.”

He added: “Retail businesses need certainty, and we want to be sure that retailers do not need to re-introduce these measures in the near future because the government has acted in haste. We now hope that the government can focus on business support as we look to recover.”
