If that's to the UK, as a UK citizen you may well be able to enter. (and the UK is still fairly lax on entry anyhow).
If it is specifically on essential business, there may be some other places you will be allowed into.
Many other countries currently have hard bans on arrival (see the recent story on France returning a group of travellers that arrived by private jet from the UK), or significant quarantine restrictions. These will be slow to be lifted for the hoi polloi, even if there is some loosening up of internal restrictions. (no-one wants the issue of large foreign influxes and the health and repatriation issues they would bring in the event of a resurgence of infection, and there will be (natural) inter-country suspicion about the effectiveness of other countries exit strategies).
Add to that the likelihood that the FCO won't in the medium term lift the current indefinite advice against non-essential overseas travel, and even if you could travel, you won't have any insurance.
I do hope I'm wrong, but practically, I think this year is a complete write-off for overseas holidays (and might be for most for staycations as well).
