My office is now closed for the Christmas break from 22nd December until 4th January. However, my team and I will be intermittently checking the inbox for any urgent enquiries which cannot wait until the 4th January.
If your email is urgent, and add ‘URGENT’ to the email subject and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please ensure you include your full address and a contact number.
All other correspondence will be responded to after 4th January.
I wish you all the best wishes for Christmas, and a better and peaceful New Year.
