UK housebuilder Persimmon says it will resume work next week, a month after suspending operations to comply with the lockdown.
It says it has “developed and tested a range of new site protocols” to enable work to restart next week, telling shareholders: “The Group is therefore announcing today that it will begin a phased re-opening of its construction sites from the morning of Monday 27 April 2020 which will allow us to support our customers by completing the construction of the new homes they have purchased in a safe and responsible manner.”
Persimmon argues that it’s acting “in response to the UK Government’s objective of getting the construction sector back to work”.
