Here when you need us - Covid-19 update

Here when you need us - business as usual during the coronavirus outbreak 

We are writing to let you know it is business as usual at FODO. 

Whether you need guidance, advice, legal defence or support with an insurance matter, we are here to help and please continue to email/call your usual contacts at FODO. 

We are however, following the Prime Minister’s announcement 16 March to encourage homeworking, now switching to a virtual office set-up. 

The FODO phone lines will be switched to an online platform so you should call the mainline number and you will then be directed to the team you need to support you.
