For some, the future will bring a change of direction and for others a renewed ambition to take our businesses to a new level. Change they say is a constant and never has that been more true.

The government announced on 10th March 2021 that it would again extend the temporary ban on forfeiture (termination of a lease) for non-payment of rent from 31st March 2021 until 30th June 2021.

This area has been an integral feature of the pandemic. How we manage resource (and pay for it) and retain the best mix of talent for the future. We also know that a majority of businesses are considering additional hiring over the course of the rest of the year.
