Stuart Broad, Harry Gurney convert pub into delivery services

"We started this back, on Monday, when the prime minister said to avoid pubs, and then when he updated that advice to pubs having to close on Friday, we were three or four days ahead of the curve. The idea we started doing it was job preservation because we knew that the trade of the pubs was going to pretty much vanish overnight, and we've got people who rely on us to pay their mortgages. We wanted to find a way to generate income in order that we were able to continue paying people throughout the crisis,” said Gurney, reported ESPN Cricinfo.

For Gurney, the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted one of the busiest periods in the business' history from a management perspective, with opening nights the only contenders. Along with Broad and the third partner in their business, Dan Cramp, he runs two pubs in the Midlands, and as things stand intends to keep both open throughout the crisis.
