Sad, but inevitable. Hopefully their staff are all being looked after.

I guess it was expected. Wondering how many film companies will survive this?

I guess Ilford at least should be ok. 80% of the wages will be taken up by the government and there are other supports.
I believe that Ilford are a profitable firm so should be ok as long as this doesn´t go on too long. That´s the big unknown with this.

I think that Ilford are acting with courage and responsibility. I may just buy a brick of HP5+ to keep my stock up in case there is a longer than expected lockdown and hiatus of production.

+1 to that on all fronts, I'm going to add in a bit of paper too.
