STOP the high street Armageddon
In a bid to get VAT and business rates reduced across the UK, owner of Michelin-starred restaurant Pied à Terre, David Moore, is lobbying the Mayor of London to take immediate action to save businesses and jobs with a review of how the rates are calculated and a significant reduction in rent bills.
Leading restaurant chains such as Gaucho, Jamie’s Italian, Prezzo, Byron and many others have respectively succumbed to the state of the industry and been forced to close outlets across the UK to restructure. With no sign of respite and with more than a third of the UK’s top 100 restaurants losing money, restaurateur and consultant Moore is now spearheading a campaign to get businesses out of the red and save the high street.
