Project Birch
From ACT Wiki
Business continuity - pandemic - UK.
Project Birch was a temporary UK government plan announced in May 2020 to bail out strategically important UK companies facing financial difficulty due to COVID-19.
The UK government:
- 'indicated that it is prepared to assist large companies "in exceptional circumstances" and as a "last resort" where an otherwise viable company has "exhausted all options" and its failure would "disproportionately harm the UK economy".'
