What was that business, NamsNanny?
I read a story about someone who had started a company selling pharmaceutical products on line. It was doing ok until the virus then business stopped.
Except that he had for some reason ordered a huge delivery of face masks, stored in his warehouse. So he managed to cover all his losses. That was a few months ago.

Exactly Dausymae. That’s what the OP says !

If they kept on all staff then they didn't furlough them?

Wish more companies could do this.

Wow! that's uplifting news Namsnanny though I haven't as yet heard of any other companies being so honest.

Just read about a company who balanced their books, made a profit, kept on all staff during C19.

Now they are going to _refund_ the government furlough money. As thankfully they didn't need it.

I find this so uplifting.

Anyone aware of other business doing something inline with this?
