Pubs and restaurants call for urgent help as they struggle with impact of Omicron
The boss of pub chain Greene King says bookings have been "decimated" across the business amid the rapid spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant.
Greene King faced an "incredibly difficult" situation during what would usually be its busiest trading period of the year, Mr Mackenzie said. "We need them to move towards things like furlough support for [pubs] that we are having to close or those severely impacted, business rates relief, and removal of the cap on business rates."David Page, the chairman of Fulham Shore, which runs the Real Greek and Franco Manca restaurant chains, urged Chancellor Rishi Sunak to announce further support for businesses "in the next 24 hours".
