With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK many of our clients are implementing contingency plans such as home-working, skeleton staffing, social distancing and cleansing regimes to maintain operations. However, for some organisations this is not possible, and following the latest government advice some workplaces will now temporarily shut down for a period of time. Buildings, whether temporarily closed or permanently unoccupied can be at greater risk from the likes of arson, antisocial behaviour such as vandalism or squatters, theft, and escape of water.
