Superdrug said it is encouraging other retailers to offer their employees an additional day off as a ‘thank you’ gesture during the bank holiday.
Superdrug CEO Peter Macnab said: “As a proud British business, we are delighted to be able to give all UK colleagues an additional day off to mark such an incredible moment in British history.
“We have seen that our retail workers are some of the hardest working people in the country, particularly throughout the last two years. We hope that other forward thinking businesses will follow our lead and give their staff a well-deserved break to enjoy the celebrations this year.”
