Coronavirus Policy

19.7.2021
Dear Customer,
Our first priority is to ensure that our staff and customers are safe and to maintain public health in-line with the most recent Government advice announced on 12.7.21. At the same time, all of our customers will play a critical role in keeping homes and businesses across the UK and Ireland safe and secure.
As a result, the government has made a specific exception for companies that provide hardware that allows us and our customers to continue trading. The link to the official government guidelines can be found here:

Even though we are open and operating, we must do everything we can to ensure that everyone remains safe.
