Please see below the statement from Joanne Caine, Vice Chair, Exeter Chamber, following the latest Government announcement.
“As Devon remains in Tier 2 we call for urgent additional support for businesses operating under severe limitations. This is hitting particularly hard in the hospitality sector at a time of the year that should have been their busiest.
Together with InExeter we are supporting the Bounce Back Better manifesto: which calls for a one off grant for leisure and hospitality businesses, with an extension of reduced VAT rate, a pause on NIC for furloughed employees and further extension of the business rates holiday for 2021 and 2022.
If your business requires additional support and would like us to express your views to local or central government please get in touch.”
