Impact of Covid-19 on the Entertainment Sector: Discussion
Mr. Liam Fitzgerald:
I will be brief to allow others to contribute. Unfortunately, we have received quite an amount of information about substantial numbers of people leaving the industry. There is quite a specialist group of people we use to climb high places and hang structures in entertainment venues. Many of them have gone to work in steel construction and on building sites and so on. We do not know whether we will get these people back. There is a terrible risk that skills retention will become a major issue in the industry.
