Kate Nicholls: “The UK needs to get used to sudden lockdowns”

The sudden introduction of restrictive measures in Greater Manchester at the weekend was chaotic, but could turn out to be a good thing if the result of the Leicester-lockdown is anything to go by, UK Hospitality CEO Kate Nicholls has told MCA. Speaking at MCA’s virtual event The Conversation, Nicholls said the rushed announcement meant initially there was “great confusion about what the rules meant, great uncertainty for a lot of customers, and it took quite a long time to get the details of what people were allowed to do in pubs and bars and what they were allowed to do outdoors.”
