Directorbank’s response to COVID-19:
In view of the rapidly changing situation regarding COVID-19, we would like to reassure you that business at Directorbank continues as usual. We would also like to update you on the approach we are taking.

We are complying with all guidance and advice issued by the Government and are monitoring daily developments closely. As such, we have robust business continuity plans in place to ensure uninterrupted service to our clients and candidates whilst ensuring the well-being of our team, their families and the wider community.

Our approach is as follows:

• As far as possible we are working from home and are equipped to provide a full service. As a business, we already operate a fully-tested remote working system which enables our consultants, researchers and support team members to connect to our operating platform with the same level of security and protection as office based working.
• Whilst our offices will remain open for necessary meetings, we are switching over to telephone or video meetings as the default solution.
• We have curtailed business travel for the safety of our employees, clients and candidates.
• We have postponed our forthcoming UK Tech & Communications event on 25^th March.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will update you with any further changes we make to our approach.

In the meantime, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like more information at enquiries@directorbank.com
