A note about our phones. Some clients are experiencing an issue calling our number where the phone rings out without answer. Please be assured that it is not because our staff are not answering the phone. Unfortunately the phone is not ringing in our office. We have notified our telecommunications provider and they are trying to find and fix the problem. If the phone is working properly it will either be answered by one of our staff or diverted to voicemail if all of the lines are busy. If you call and the phone keeps ringing please hang up and call again because often the second call gets through. Or you can email us on [email protected] and we will call you back. If you do experience this problem, please let us know as we can report to our telco the time of the incident. We apologise to our clients for this inconvenience and we are working to fix the problem as quickly as we can.
