Perth businessman John Bryden has won his appeal to the Scottish Government to access Nightclub Closure Fund support.
And that spells good news for the 30-strong staff team employed at The Loft, The Ice Factory and That Bar Lounge as the Fair City’s night-time economy prepares to bounce back from the cash-sapping impact of the pandemic.
Long-time owner Mr Bryden thanked the Scottish Government for approving five-figure compensation following the last-minute cancellation of sell-out Hogmanay parties and the January shut-down triggered by the Omicron variant.
