Business as Usual

From Monday 16 March Anson Evaluate, having taken account of UK Government advice and to protect our staff and our clients we are  allowing staff to self isolate and work from home where appropriate. Our IT and communications systems allow for our normal services to be provided to our clients in full from any secure location and we have allowed staff to work from home for a period previously, most recently due to localised flooding making travel difficult for staff in autumn 2019 – we have been here before.

We are open for business and will be continuing to provide a full service to our clients via secure means including email, phone and video conferencing.  Appointments for calls will continue to be booked via the usual address admin@ansonevaluate.com.  We will not be providing in-person meetings for at least the next 4 weeks and will keep this under review.

If your business needs help with online Training for secure remote working and communications, we are open for business.  If your organisation needs to assess suppliers or standards for regulatory compliance when it comes to working on the move or at home, we are available and ready to help.
