Update 15th June
Inline with government recommendations the majority of our staff are continuing to operate remotely from the office and all services are still operational.
Site visits are available on a limited basis and all visits will be carried out in accordance with strict social distancing measures.
We have to commend the outstanding levels of service our team has continued to provide during these difficult times and we hope that we will be able to resume the new “normal” operations as soon as possible.
Regards,
Adrian & Mike
Update 24th March
All services are still operational with all workers now remote. The office is closed to visitors unless arranged in advance and in order to comply with the latest Government directive staff have been told that site visits are restricted to essential visits only (e.g. System Down or to establish connectivity) by prior arrangement with a Director.
We appreciate your co-operation in these very difficult circumstances and will continue to do our best to keep you up and running throughout this period.
Stay Safe! Regards,
Adrian & Mike
Update 18th March
We took the decision on Monday evening to enact our business continuity plan so most of our staff are now working remotely from home. The helpdesk continues to operate as normal however we are experiencing a large volume of calls especially around setup of remote working and we will do our best to service clients requests as quickly and efficiently as always but please bear with us if we take a little longer to respond than usual.
We will be maintaining a staff presence in our main office to accept deliveries and collections of hardware and will continue to make on-site visits where appropriate in accordance with the government guidelines. We will ask you to confirm whether or not you have any confirmed cases on site and our engineers have been instructed to wash their hands on entry and exit to customer premises to help reduce risk to you and them.
If you need IT Support please feel free to contact our main number 01639 326001 or email helpdesk@tech-wales.co.uk as usual. We will continue to issue updates on this post and via our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TechWalesLtd
