The British Independent Retailers Association (Bira) has launched a dedicated coronavirus hub to guide members and the wider retail community through the crisis.
“Our focus has been to provide accurate guidance based on information we have received for the various government departments,” explained Bira’s ceo Andrew Goodacre.
The online resource, accessible through the Bira website, is a one-stop shop featuring a wealth of information and advice and is being updated every day, throughout the day.
