What we’re doing to keep our clients, partners and colleagues supported and safe during Coronavirus.

Continuing to support our clients and keeping our people safe

We understand the importance of business continuity, particularly during times of uncertainty.

Curzon Consulting remains open and active in delivering our services and responding to new client challenges. We’ve shifted our operations to remote working in line with the reality of the disruption caused by Covid-19.

To continue supporting our clients safely we have taken a number of actions:

• Our staff are working from home, in line with government advice
• For our team members who do want to return to the office we’ve put in place a number of measures to ensure social distancing and make sure they feel comfortable
• Our recruitment process is remote
• We’re using remote working tools to ensure continued support across all current, planned and future client engagements
• All business travel has been postponed and all meetings moved to either video or audio conference calls
• Our IT systems are designed for us to work remotely, a key feature of our usual business operations
• We use digital channels to collaborate and communicate. These include instant messaging, video conferencing and webinars
• We’re securely connected. All internet connections on Curzon Consulting laptops are protected using secure VPN technology
• We use cloud-based platforms to access documents
• Our dedicated in-house IT support ensures we maintain client service
• We have robust policies in place to ensure data protection and confidentiality, no matter where we’re working
• We’ve set up regular check in calls with our whole team to ensure we stay connected
• Our in-house mental health first-aider is available for the team during this challenging lockdown
• We also continue to have fun (remotely!) through caption competitions, quizzes and team challenges

The well-being and safety of our clients, partners and people is of paramount importance to us. We will continue to operate in line with guidance from UK government.

Take care, stay safe and keep in touch.
