As most will be aware, the shift in alert levels means many businesses across the country can now open for staff and clients with appropriate measures in place. As a result, we would like to update you on Craigs Investment Partners (Craigs) approach under COVID-19 Alert Level 2.
Keeping Clients and Staff Safe

Therefore, on Thursday 14th May we will re-open our offices to clients for pre-arranged appointments. If you are feeling unwell or showing cold or flu-like symptoms please refrain from coming into our offices and instead email or phone your investment adviser.
