On Thursday 7th May, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Beauty, Aesthetics and Wellbeing (APPG-BAW) held a virtual panel session on the impact of COVID-19 on the industry .
During this panel session, MPs heard from industry representatives about the short and longer term impacts COVID-19 will have on the industry, whether the existing Government business support measures have been effective and what further support the industry will need as lockdown restrictions are eased to thrive post-crisis.
