Boris Johnson's announcement of new coronavirus measures caused 'confusion' for businesses, says CBI chief
that the prime minister was calling for the re-opening of parts of the British economy the following day.
Fairbairn welcomed the decision to gradually loosen the UK's lockdown measures, warning that acting too quickly risked a spike in infections and a second lockdown which would be even perilous for business than the first."We've spoken to so many businesses who have basically said to us: 'knock me down once and I'll get up again. Knock me down again and I might not get up.'
"There are a lot of businesses out there who are really surprised by how well working from home has gone," she said. "I think there are going to be a number of businesses who really rethink their use of office space. I've had many conversations with large businesses who are already reviewing their property strategy."
"We have been encouraged so far that they have listened. We know that they are actively considering what the new wave of furlough of support can be for those businesses that cannot open."
