IR35 Reforms Delayed Due to the impact of COVID-19

It was announced yesterday evening that the IR35 reforms will be delayed until 2021. This move is part of the measures the government has put in place to protect the economy against the backdrop of uncertainty due to COVID-19. For many in the interim management industry who have been campaigning against the reforms for so long, this will be a relief and a welcome change.

It is precisely at times like this that businesses need interim experts and leaders to help them through uncertain times and unchartered waters in either turnaround situations or to carefully manage a downturn due to the current even changing landscape.

I have been working in the interim management industry for almost 20 years and I have not only met incredible and inspirational interims, but I have also had the privilege to work with businesses going through significant change; both growth and in turnaround situations.

As a business leader, if you need support, help, advice or experts for a short period of time, call us, email us, message us. We have the expertise within our network to support businesses today going through these challenging times.
