Visitors to our offices for design meetings, or CCTV showroom viewings, will be able to book appointments and will see one member of staff only on the day, as well as having access to sanitiser at all times.

The requirement during lockdown to work remotely in solving our clients’ connectivity and technical issues has led to the team working smarter. This efficiency of movement and ability to work from anywhere will be something we take forward to streamline our business where possible and provide bespoke services to each and every client.
