In light of the latest statement issued by the UK Government and Public Health England, as a non-essential business it is with deepest regret that we are required to temporarily close with immediate effect. The health, well-being and safety of our customers, colleagues and their families are our over-riding priority. The temporary closure is to help minimise the risks of spreading Coronavirus (COVID-19). We anticipate this will be for a minimum of 3 weeks, potentially reopening on the 14th April, although we will provide more updates as the situation evolves, whilst adhering to the UK Government's updated advice. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time and we hope you all stay safe and well. Please feel free to contact your designated WMW contact if you require any further information throughout this unprecedented closure period.
