Our business, like many others is 100% reliant on retail. Since the outbreak our customers have been mostly furloughed and no-one is visiting wholesale showrooms. Our office is obviously closed and all of our customers have closed their doors.
We completely understand that it is impossible for the government to list all types of industries who can qualify for rates relief during this outbreak, but we are effectively a direct service to Retail and have no other source of income.
