The TTF said that while businesses have been told that staff should work from home where possible they have not compelled business to close, and have not offered advice to those firms where working from home is not an option.
This confusion is having an adverse impact on businesses throughout the country and many have been in touch with the TTF to complain about the lack of clarity from Government.
Many TTF members have raised questions about the free movement of goods during this period.
Hence the TTF created a COVID-19 web page, which will be regularly updated with links to official advice and guidance. The page can be found at: https://ttf.co.uk/covid-19/
The page also includes links to the UK Government’s Support for Business site.
In addition, TTF has written to all ports and logistics members to get updates from each on issues affecting free movement of goods and will be updating all members accordingly. Most feedback has been of the view that while precautionary measures are in place, everyone is still very much open for business.
The TTF has also created a survey to capture feedback on impacts to members’ businesses as it feels it is important in order to increase chances of successful lobbying for support.
