Yesterday I raised concerns on behalf of the wedding, exhibitions and events sectors directly with the Secretary of State for Health.

Today should have been the day when:

Organised events returned safely
A sector worth £70bn restarted
People could meet to do business

We were ready to be part of the UK’s recovery. We are still ready.

@RishiSunak we have your back. Do you have ours?

Deeply worried today's statement does not rise to scale of jobs crisis: nothing for sectors that cannot effectively open, e.g. events, weddings and nightclubs, part time wage subsidy which may be inadequate for many firms, and not enough action on job creation.

As an industry we are at crisis point.
Collaboration with @AEVnews, @AEOnews and @ESSAnews has demonstrated that business events can return safely. But we now face further delays.
@10downingstreet We need you to stand with us & protect our industry.Urgently.#ProjectConfidence

Hi, how do I switch from investment guaranteed bond at maturity to an income bond?

Organised events are vital to the UK economy:
6th largest sector in the UK
Worth over £70 billion
Employs over 600,000

Business events alone generate £32 billion and support thousands of companies and jobs. We must protect the events industry
