Like many other companies, we will have to rely on technology to send information to you.
We therefore plan the following:
- All certificates will be emailed direct to you in PDF format and the original saved. If you
require an original you can request it and we will send it out as soon as we are able. - All letters, reports and invoices will be emailed direct to you.
- Telephone enquiries will be dealt with in the usual way.
- Audits; As things stand, audits will continue as normal and inspectors will contact you in the usual way.
We will do everything we can to make this transition as smooth as possible, however it
could be subject to change as the situation develops.
We hope that this will be resolved in time but it is likely to last for several months.
Please be assured that we will do everything to assist you if you have any problems.
We hope that all will remain well and that business continues as normal wherever possible.
