Millbanks Moving Forward after 19th July

Following the Governments announcement on Monday evening that most Covid lockdown rules will be relaxed on July 19th, Millbanks have taken the decision, as a measure of good practice, to continue with our day-to-day business operations under the current Covid guideline rules.

So, for the foreseeable future we shall continue to observe the current guidelines until as such time there is a significant drop in new cases. We are very aware that new cases at the current time are rising significantly, so this decision has been taken in the interests of protecting our Millbanks Team, our clients, and the wider general public, we thank you all for your co-operation going forward.
