COVID-19 Update

Mar 26, 2020 | Uncategorized

Within light of the COVID-19 Pandemic we are implementing alternatives to focus on the well being of our staff, families and our clients. Our goal is to continue to provide the highest level of service while we make the appropriate changes to our business practices to address the risks.

While our office remained closed to the public, we have adopted a return to the office for a number of our staff while also continuing to support a work from home policy for the balance of our staff to help protect the health and safety of our team.

We are booking face to face meeting in our boardroom. If you would like to schedule a meeting please speak with your firm representative to schedule a meeting.
