We are sure that you've already received several messages like this but during uncertain times it is important to know that we’re not alone and in it together and so we wanted to let you know that we are thinking about you.
Working Arrangements;
The safety and well-being of our clients, staff and loved ones is on all our minds. Many of us are close to someone in the higher risk category. Although some of the team intend to remain based in the office, we have decided to shut the doors to outside visitors in line with the Government's current strategy. We are also extending our ability for the team at B&T to work remotely where possible so that we can continue to deliver what you need from us as effectively and efficiently as possible throughout these challenging times.
We will look to alter meetings (or change to online video / traditional calls) and move deadlines or non-essential work commitments to accommodate each other’s circumstances whilst we try to support you during a situation that none of us have previously experienced. We welcome your input and help in making this work together.
Government & HMRC Guidance:
Over the coming days and weeks, we will be following any advice from government as it becomes available and will communicate relevant changes with you where possible.
Please note that HMRC have extended their payment helpline arrangements on 08000 159559 and have indicated that they will be more lenient on 'time to pay' and 'deferral' plans. They also have issued the following guidanc page which may be helpful to you: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-to-employers-and-businesses-about-covid-19/covid-19-support-for-businesses outlining different support they are giving to small businesses at this time.
Call Us:
If you require access to the building or prefer to postpone appointments and working schedules that have not already been addressed, please call or email your usual contact here or use the main office number on 01623 659659 and bear with us whilst we manage the moving landscape.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding - stay safe and take care.
Jono, David and all the Team at B&T.
