KPMG has pushed back plans to launch a new hybrid working regime for its UK staff following the announcement by Prime Minister Boris Johnson that Covid-19 restrictions would remain in place longer than originally planned.

Johnson said on 14 June that the so-called ‘Freedom Day’ scheduled for 21 June would be pushed back until 19 July in response to a rise in the number of cases of the more transmissible Delta variant of Covid-19.
