Stop Kissing and Eat Porridge

That was the advice almost exactly 100 years ago during the Spanish Flu Epidemic.

Social distancing and washing hands has moved us on a bit from then but it does feel just about as useful – i.e. not very.

Which, to be fair, is undoubtedly tougher for the professionals trying to deal with it, than for us, the wider public.

And as for the commercial and economic impacts…

What we can do is be pro-active about the bits we can control. Looking after each other as best we can, keeping transparent and frequent on the communications and using any down-time to best advantage - looking to be well-positioned when the upturn comes.

It’s unlikely we’re going to be in a position to be taking on full-timers in the immediate future but we’d very much like to talk to you for the day the sunlight returns.

Please forward your CV and a covering note to Georgina and her team. We’d be very pleased to have a chat in the meantime – further offers in due course.

None of which will involve kissing or porridge. You’re safe.
