LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Big Yellow Group Plc. (BYG.L) said that it is considering a number of initiatives to conserve cash in the short term, including as stated a halt on discretionary capital expenditure.
The company said it will see how our trading patterns develop and a decision about the final dividend will be made in due course.
Big Yellow said it has limited the number of staff in a store at any one time to a maximum of two, amid the Coronavirus outbreak. It has also restricted access to receptions to its customers to one or two at a time so as to ensure social distancing guidelines.
