B&M to close on New Year's Day to thank staff and give them 'well deserved' rest

B&M has been one of the essential businesses that has been operating throughout the coronavirus pandemic and now the brand is rewarding its staff.

The bargain brand has revealed that it plans to close on New Years Day to give its staff a 'well-deserved rest' and B&M shoppers have flocked to support the news.

The company made the announcement on social media and more than 20,000 people have since liked the post.

The announcement on Instagram reads: "To give our colleagues a well-deserved rest, all B&M stores will be closed on January 1, New Years Day.

"We hope 2021 is a great year for all of our colleagues, their families and all B&M shoppers. Thank you!"

The bargain brand is not the only one to make an announcement such as this.

M&S revealed that they would be keeping all of its shop closed on Boxing Day to allow staff to spend time with their families.

And elsewhere, German retailer Aldi revealed its planning to give its staff a 10 per cent bonus over the festive period.
