In response to the developing circumstances surrounding COVID-19, gcp has made some temporary changes to working practices.

We continue to be fully operational and our office remains open. However, we have a responsibility to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees, our clients and the communities we serve, whilst helping to slow the wider spread of the virus.

During this period of uncertainty, we’re here to assist you. You will continue to receive the collaboration and outputs you need from gcp to support your projects and we are committed to ensure that our customers can access our usual high levels of service. Our teams remain fully available for you via all the usual channels – phone, email and online through Microsoft Teams.

From Monday 9 March, all our employees were given the option of working from home and all our technical staff have full remote working capability and full access to gcp systems.

Following Government advice on Monday 16 March some of our colleagues are now working remotely but there will be a continued presence of Directors, technical & support staff in the office during this time.

We have encouraged the use of conference calls or software applications for some time and would encourage as many meetings as possible to happen by remote means for the time being. We understand that certain meetings and site visits will remain necessary for the continuation of normal business practice and our attendance at these will of course continue.

We are expecting the circumstances and Government guidelines to continue to change and are committed to a sensible and flexible approach during these uncertain times and will update you as regularly as necessary.

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any queries regarding your individual project, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards

Jeremy Pilling
