Nearly half a million self-employed seek Government help
- Richard Fox quoted in The Telegraph

Richard Fox has been quoted in The Telegraph that workers on permanent contracts could be at risk of redundancy as firms are likely to press ahead with restructuring despite the extension in the Government furlough programme.

That could mean many redundancies in the coming weeks and months."
