On Tuesday the Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a further £4.6bn worth of support for businesses in the hospitality and leisure sectors, in light of the lockdown announced by Boris Johnson on Monday evening.
However beauty industry groups have hit back at the finance plan, saying the measures don’t go far enough for the hair and beauty sector, who have endured an extending lockdown in 2020 and no sector-specific support.
