As the lockdown eases there is still some confusion as to the rules and regulations, and we are not talking about Dominic Cummings’ visit to Barnard Castle. The GGF has contacted the Director of Construction at the Government department of Business Energy & Industrial Strategy to ask if showrooms in England could re-open; the short answer is yes but if they choose to do so they need to apply the Safer Working guidelines as published by Government for companies and individuals operating in England. Also, the GGF has written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer asking that the Job Retention Scheme be made more flexible to help companies who may only require furloughed workers to return on a part-time basis. Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced last week that the Job Retention Scheme would be flexible from August; however the GGF has called on this to be brought forward to 1st June.

Bohle has launched a highly flexible dedicated COVID-19 cough and sneeze-guard desk mounted office screen system. Available either as a clamped or free-standing option, VetroScreen, has been developed by the glass consumables and hardware specialist as a solution to screen adjacent desks in open-plan offices.

Elsewhere, although holidays are probably the last thing on peoples’ minds, employees that travel abroad to visit relatives and who have to quarantine on their return should be given statutory sick pay, say leading tax and advisory firm Blick Rothenberg.

In other news, trade fabricator Dekko says demand for colour has skyrocketed, growing from 20% of sales to over 55% in the past 5-6 years. According to the company, a shift in consumer preferences and spending habits is behind this trend, with homeowners choosing coloured windows and doors to enhance and add value to their homes.
