Thank you so much to you and the team for all of your support. As a large franchise we are still working our way through phone calls to each client however the fact that we have been able to keep all clients updated regularly and over the evenings and weekends helps us show clients that we are doing our very best to get this information out to them. Even if we lose clients due to their own financial situations, I am confident that the loyalty we will get back from those clients who survive this crisis will pay off in the years to come. Our job may not be an enviable one at the moment but I would hate to be running an Accountancy practice without the support of the network right now
