Bankers hoping to mark the end of a hectic year in the financial markets with a blowout holiday party are set to be disappointed. The Omicron variant is prompting firms to cancel or scale back their end-of-year celebrations in London.
“People are a bit more anxious about non-family gatherings — Christmas parties, that sort of thing,” Steven Fine, CEO of broker Peel Hunt, said in an interview. “They want to make sure that everyone in the family are all together over that festive period so, maybe, they might not go to that Christmas party.”
Basic precautions are also back in force. Guests at British American Tobacco’s reception at its Thames-side headquarters will have to pass a temperature check and sanitise their hands upon arrival. They will also need to show proof of vaccination or a negative lateral flow test to gain access.
