We are maintaining a minimal level of key staff coverage in the Salisbury House office; however, the office is closed to visitors until further notice.
Wherever possible we encourage the use of electronic correspondence and documents (in preference to hard copy, paper alternatives) as there is a risk of delay in the receipt of the post and Document Exchange deliveries. Please contact us before arranging any courier delivery to Salisbury House.
We also ask that payments are made by bank transfer in preference to cheque. Please be sure to verify our bank details before sending any funds electronically.
