“Please understand there may be delays in response, but the team will be working to get back to you as soon as they can. Any non-urgent remedial work may need to wait until next week so the reduced team can prioritise and resolve urgent queries.”
LIC says during the initial lockdown period, there will be no farm visits from agri managers, FarmWise consultants, Wagyu calf pick-ups or field assist service.
“In line with lockdown requirements, a large proportion of our people are now working from home in their bubble.
