All our lives are in some sort of upheaval due to the resurgent spread of Coronavirus (Covid-19).

From tomorrow people in England will enter a new national lockdown that is initially set to run until December 2.

We know that people are anxious right now, including our clients. Even those who have a long-term, trusted relationship with their Lifetime financial planner may be concerned about their money and investments, as Covid-19 continues to impact the UK and the world.

Rest assured, as a company we are continuously monitoring developments and the changeable government notifications, and thanks to the innovation we embarked upon over a year ago we are in a position whereby we can maintain our commitment of excellent client service.

These are not normal days we are living through, so we have taken the necessary steps to protect our staff as best we can, and to protect the running of the company.

In line with government guidelines, the Lifetime offices are open for a limited number of our staff, while we have a lot of our colleagues working from home.

We understand that, in these uncertain months, you might need our services more than ever. Keeping clients reassured and informed is of paramount importance to us.

Our financial planners, pension specialists, mortgage advisers, communications team and support staff are all set up to continue working through this crisis, in the office and at home, and we can deal with calls, emails and client meetings via Zoom screen-to-screen technology.

If you need us for anything, then you can either call your financial planner on their mobile number or telephone the office on 01226 208600.

We do also urge all our existing clients, if they haven’t already done so, to register to our safe and secure online Client Portal, where all your documentation can be stored and you can communicate with us. If you are not already set up on the portal then please get in touch with our Communications team, by email, at [email protected] and they will help get you registered. If we haven’t got your email address, or if you have a new one, then please let our Communications Department know so they can send you a registration email.

And to those people who are currently looking for advice regarding their finances, be it financial planning, pensions, investments or for a mortgage, we are here, ready, willing and able to help.

Today is #NationalStressAwarenessDay – and we fully recognise the dangers that stress can bring.

If you are stressed about your financial situation, and you need guidance and support, talk to us! Get in touch and we may be able to help ease your concerns.

These are turbulent times, we know and appreciate that. Together we will get through it.

Stay safe.

– Your Lifetime Team
