    Being self employed and the coronavirus

    Back in 2008, the government of the day was very quick off the mark to offer financial bailouts totalling £500 billion to the banks. By contrast, help for the self-employed isn't happening with the same determination and haste. Just saying.

    Covid-19 How are we doing?

    No problems here, thankfully.:) I'm presently carrying-out an EICR in a rather large factory, and am fortunate to be able to carry-on regardless as we (my apprentice and I) are working between 4:30 and 11:30 pm during which time the factory is deserted.
