News Item: Wales Update - Hire Sector Permitted to Operate During Lockdown Confirmed

Hire Sector Permitted to Operate During Lockdown Confirmed

In guidance issued by the Walsh Government late on Friday, the hire sector is specifically mentioned under Retail as being permitted to operate during the 'Firebreak Lockdown' lasting until 9th November, under the category "Hardware shops and equipment, plant and tool hire"

This uses the wording we provided to CBI Wales who were in direct negotiation with officials drafting the guidance. This should reassure members still unclear about the position given the current debate in Wales about which items can be sold or hired.
