The Events Industry Alliance and ESSA have issued an open letter to Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak outlining the urgent need for targeted support and a clear roadmap to reopening to allow for planning when the time is right.
In their letter, the authors warn that many companies will not survive the coming months if the government does not support them: “Vital parts of the ecosystem needed to resume events in the UK will not survive the coming months unless targeted, time-limited government support is given and a clear roadmap to reopening the sector is issued.”
