In many ways this definitive step by Countrywide PLC means that its employees will get 80% of their salary up to £2,500 covered by the government for the next 3-months, as long as they do not work. And may or may not get the extra 20% as a top up from the company.
With such a large number of salaries 10,000, it gives certainty to many, though there must be some who will still work? Such as property managers etc in the Lettings division.

Now the sales staff have ‘gone’ and the shop fronts will soon cease to exist it looks allot more attractive as an acquisition.Not sure if this is the silver bullet or final nail in the coffin they were needing.
The staff will be hurt the most but all good staff will find new position I am sure.
