Wake Up to Money: Business Interrupted

Business Interrupted

BBC Radio 5 Live - Wake Up to Money, Business Interrupted

Why are thousands of businesses still waiting for covid-related insurance payouts?

Insurers were told to pay up. So why have thousands of businesses not recieved covid-related insurance payouts? And the shortages hitting construction sites and DIY projects.

Sean looks at why so many companies are still waiting for business interruption insurance payouts, more than a year on from the first lockdown and even though courts have told insurers to pay up.
And a perfect storm of Brexit, demand for new houses and a surge in interest in DIY is causing shortages of key supplies like timber and cement.
