Stakeholders
We are working hard to keep operations and services as close as possible to business as usual with minimal disruption for our customers. Our business continuity plans are proving to be robust and we are closely monitoring the situation. A more detailed update on key areas can be found below.
The majority of staff are working remotely where possible.
Whilst some of our offices are closed to customers, in line with government advice, residents can continue to contact us through our other usual channels, including the customer contact centre and online.
For A2Dominion’s repairs service, there are co-ordinated plans in place between our teams and contractors to ensure we continue to provide emergency and urgent repairs, as well as compliance work such as fire and gas safety checks.
We have developed guidance to ensure customers and staff are protected during property visits.
For any customers worried about their financial situation, we are offering support and signposting through our Tenancy Sustainment team. We are monitoring this closely and will respond as needed in line with the government’s advice.
In addition to over £100m currently on short term deposit with various financial institutions we have nearly £450m of undrawn committed loan facilities from a range of banks, which we are able to draw at short notice if required.
We will continue to maintain significant liquidity and continually monitor our financial situation carefully.
Payment runs to suppliers are continuing as normal. We have procedures in place should there be any requirement for emergency payments outside our normal runs.
