Our offices are currently open, although we have asked most of our staff to work from home. We are not expecting any interruption to our service levels as we have implemented a number of proactive measures across our business that will minimise the risk of any disruption. These measures include a combination of remote working and the implementation of operational policies and protocols designed to allow us to run our business as usual.
Whilst we are still able to deal with hard copy post, as our offices currently remain open, we would be grateful if all instructions could now be sent via email. Please send these to your usual contact at D Young & Co also copying mail@dyoung.com.
