As you are all aware the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been developing rapidly over the last few weeks and on Monday evening the Prime Minister announced additional measures to control the spread.

Having worked tirelessly on risk assessments over the last few weeks and although the current measures do not recommend the closure of construction sites, to protect the health and well-being of our staff, sub-contractors and their families, we have taken the difficult decision to temporarily suspend operations at all of our sites (except at Critical Care locations) from immediate effect.

This decision has not been taken lightly but having considered all options we feel this is the right decision for the immediate future, however, we will continue to further assess how we can and where we can fully comply with the guidelines in the hope that we can become operational in the near future.

We will also close both Bristol and Cardiff offices for an initial three-week period.

We would like to take this opportunity to send our best wishes to our clients, suppliers, sub-contractors and friends.

Thank you for your understanding and support at this difficult time as we look forward to happier times ahead.

Most importantly, please stay home and we hope you all stay safe.
