The Argus Group today announced it would be closing its offices to walk-in traffic from 5:00 pm on Wednesday, March 18th, 2020 and serving its customers exclusively through phone, email and online services.
Alison Hill, CEO of The Argus Group, said: “During this unprecedented time, the health and safety of our staff, our customers and the community is of the utmost importance to Argus. In light of the Covid-19 situation, we have made the decision to close our offices to walk-in traffic from 5:00pm on Wednesday, March 18th until further notice. We believe that taking this measure is the best way to limit the spread of this illness and will allow our business to remain resilient so that we can continue to serve our clients during this challenging period.”
“Our team will continue to support customer needs through online and telephone channels. We do, however, apologise for any inconvenience our temporary office closure might cause. We are closely monitoring the Covid-19 situation and will continue to offer alternative servicing options as we navigate new realities. Most importantly, our priority remains the health and wellbeing of Bermuda.”
