Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, the Government has acted with unprecedented speed to support UK manufacturing companies, including businesses in the glass sector.

To safeguard jobs we introduced the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which continues until 30 September 2021.

We also introduced the government backed Coronavirus Business Interruption Scheme (CBILS), Bounce Back Loan, Recovery Loan schemes.

We have also provided Local Authorities with additional funds to support businesses through the Local Restrictions Support Grant, Restart Grant and the Additional Restrictions Grant.
