To all clients and partners,
I am writing to tell you of the steps that we have taken across the Harwood Wealth Management Group in relation to the unfolding Covid-19 disease pandemic.
As I’m sure you will have seen across every media, the situation is evolving hourly and new advice continues to be issued. We have taken the view that acting early allows us to manage change in a calm and orderly manner. Since the start of the outbreak we have been assessing the potential disruption and planning accordingly in line with our established Business Continuity Plans.
From the week commencing 16th March we have begun a process of our staff working remotely. We believe that this reduced contact between staff will minimise the risks to them, our clients and our business. We are also restricting all business travel and have asked our staff not to attend conferences or meetings unless they are absolutely essential.
The nature of our business allows us to provide advice, manage investments, process documents and instructions remotely as though we were sat in our regular places of work. We have tested out remote IT infrastructure and are confident that we can continue to deliver high levels of service.
We are confident that we have taken early, well planned and tested measures and that our business will continue to deliver the service you have come to expect from us.
We hope that you and your family stay safe and well.
Kind regards
Alan Durrant
CEO
