Following a disruptive and eventful 2020, we find ourselves at the start of 2021 little changed from March/April. Most of our staff are set up to work from home and contactable by email or mobile, while our office is staffed part time by a skeleton crew of those unable to work from home.
Thankfully, we have adapted to our new routines and despite the shutdown of many sites during the first lockdown and continued disruption throughout the year we have remained busy and productive, with no sign of a slowdown in the months ahead.
The latest national lockdown and fast-spreading new variant of Covid-19 means that we have advised our staff to avoid unnecessary site visits and travel where possible, although routine site inspections and meetings are continuing provided, they are Covid Secure and latest ‘hands, face and space’ rules are followed. Face-to-face meetings will be conducted virtually through MS Teams or similar until the situation improves and guidance changes.
