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.
