BVRLA Chief welcomes the Chancellor's announcement to extend and increase the flexibility of the furlough scheme
Responding to today's announcement by Chancellor Rishi Sunak, BVRLA Chief Executive Gerry Keaney said:
“Extending the Job Retention Scheme to the end of October provides a much-needed financial lifeline to millions of employers who are having to make tough decisions to keep their businesses viable and people safe.
“We are delighted to see the Chancellor take heed of our recommendation to introduce flexibility to the furlough scheme. By enabling businesses to bring back furloughed staff on a part-time basis, employers will have the option to implement a phased return to work as companies look to kickstart their operations in a post-pandemic environment.
"Today’s announcement will undoubtedly prevent millions of job losses and we are grateful to the Chancellor for his continued support of UK businesses.”
