LendInvest action against COVID-19 outbreak

On Monday 16 March, we took the decision to temporarily instruct all London-based staff to work remotely. This follows government advice to take decisive action to limit social interaction with immediate effect. 

As a long-established, technology-driven company operating with cloud-based infrastructure, we are fully capable of remaining ‘open for business’.

This was not a decision we have taken lightly but we are well prepared for it. Over the past few weeks we have been encouraging remote working and put in place arrangements to move quickly in the event that this was to happen. 

We have now actioned a pre-prepared, company-wide plan. The plan includes measures to continue operating as normal, not only as a team but with all of our third-party service providers too. 

All our employees will continue to work as normal from their remote locations and are contactable via their usual telephone numbers and email addresses. All customers are able to communicate with us as usual and should experience no difference in the speed and quality of service they typically receive from us. 

We have notified customers of the temporary measures we have taken as a business and will continue to keep them updated as the situation progresses.
