Following the recent announcement by the Prime Minister, we have taken the decision to close our doors to the public for the foreseeable future.
All is not lost, however. Reades will remain open throughout and although it is unlikely to be business as usual, our skeleton team of home-workers will handle all telephone and email enquiries and registering any interest, in readiness for business hopefully resuming in a few weeks' time.
Our team will be subject to additional and unusual pressures over the coming weeks and will do their best to support our customers using systems with which they are not yet fully familiar. You can help them by making best use of your online account during this time and only calling or emailing if you feel it is absolutely necessary. you can access your online account here:
If you are experiencing problems logging in, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing negotiation@reades.uk.
During the lock-down, we will prioritise the updating of online accounts and the sending of updates via email, as and when they become available. If no update is showing on your account, or if you have not received an update via email, there is likely no update to give at this time.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult period. You are a valued customer and can rest assured that our team will work tirelessly over the coming weeks to minimise any inconvenience to you, as far as is possible.
Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.
