Safe to Trade: What’s behind the sticker

The recent Government downgrading of the UK COVID-19 Alert Level from level 4 to 3 has paved the way for the further relaxation of the current COVID-19 restrictions.

In the case of hospitality many businesses have transitioned to takeaway, online or other permitted activities. Generally, the food sector has shown itself to be resilient, innovative and trustworthy in a uniquely challenging period.
