Contact Centre
Our advisors are available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, except for Wednesday between 11.20am and 1pm when we are closed for staff training. Due to the current high demand for our services our call waiting times are longer. Our telephony lines will close each day at 4.30pm for new calls to allow us to reach customers who are already waiting.
