COVID-19
After 16 months of remote office working, we are delighted to reopen our branches and offices and we are excited to be able to safely welcome people back to our offices and branches once again.
We will continue to ensure that our premises are a clean, safe space for all staff and visitors. To ensure this, mandatory lateral flow tests will be taken by all office staff weekly and sanitisation points will be made available. Masks can be worn in public and shared areas if it is a personal choice to do so and there will be a weekly office clean as normal.
