We already work on a remote basis for our customers so it’s unlikely that any change to home working will be noticed. We have full web conferencing facilities for all of our staff so please assume we can still talk and meet, whenever you need us.
We appreciate these are difficult and exceptional times, which will require some clever thinking to work through them. If you need any help with anything related to design and development, please get in touch and we will do our best to help you.
Good luck to everyone, we hope you all navigate through this period in good health and with minimal impact on your business.
