Hard to believe, but it’s been five years since the country went into lockdown. To mark that anniversary, we want to hear from you about how your business was changed.
As the Covid-19 pandemic took hold in March 2020 and the numbers of cases rose, the Government began its programme of lockdowns.
Retail and hospitality businesses had to close and offices across the UK sent their staff to work from home.
BusinessLive’s team also moved to home working and from our kitchen tables and home offices we brought you all the latest updates from Government and businesses, including from the regular live ministerial press conferences we all watched to learn what might happen next.
We reported on the huge challenges facing hospitality, and on the various moves the UK Government, local authorities and devolved administrations made to support those businesses. We looked at home working, and how that was changing businesses. We reported on the particular challenges faced by the self-employed. And we reported on the various measures from furlough to social distancing that were introduced as officials looked to keep the economy going.
While the pandemic may feel like a distant memory, it actually changed many businesses forever, as home and hybrid working are now more common than ever.
We want to know how you found lockdown, and how you think it was handled. And we also want to know how it changed your business, and the way you work. Have your say in our survey below by midday on Friday, March 14.
