In May 2020, AA president Edmund King told the BBC that, based on the analysis of official figures and his organisation’s own monitoring, traffic volumes in Britain were “akin to those in the early 1970s.” Cabinet Office data from March earlier in the same year also showed that motor traffic had dropped by 73% compared with pre-pandemic outbreak levels.

David Overton, Managing Director of windscreen repair franchise Optic-Kleer gives the lowdown.

It wasn’t in the business plan. Written in late-2017, there wasn’t the need to include how to deal with the effects of an international pandemic. The UK hadn’t suffered from one for decades and very, very few people knew then what COVID-19 even was. Fast-forward to Spring 2021 and, having lost 63% of trading days over a 12 month period, Duncan and Tania Berry have certainly been able to demonstrate just how resilient their spa810 model is as they plan to re-open following the third national lockdown.
