Revised office hoursÂ
Due to the announcement by the government yesterday our plans have had to change yet again. We were looking at allowing face to face meetings (Maximum 2 clients at each meeting) from October, these would have been limited to one meeting in the morning and one in the afternoon, but with the recent increases in cases and announcements, we have placed this on hold and, Instead we are all back working from home, and Zoom meeting are once again in operation.
As from Monday 28th September, we will also be changing our phone hours to 10am to 4pm every day. This will enable the team to hold virtual meetings with each other and reply to client emails each day.
Again, from Monday 28th September, Clients are welcome to drop records off, and sign paperwork from the bottom of the stairs, but this has to be by appointment only. Please contact us to arrange this before travelling to the office. Due to the latest Government Legislation, face masks must be worn in all areas of our office by visitors. Please DO NOT enter the office if you have any cold or Flu like symptoms.
Records delivered to the office will spend a week in quarantine.
We thank you for your patience and understanding, and for keeping our team members safe.
