Poppies, Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day

As a mark of respect, at 11am on Armistice Day (Tuesday 11 November) we will again be observing two minutes silence across all of our businesses and operations.

This means we will also not be taking calls or responding to online enquiries during this time.

This our way of remembering and honouring the sacrifices made by of all the brave men and women who served or lost their lives in wars and conflicts.

We have poppies on sale on the Ongo House reception, with all proceeds going to the Royal British Legion‘s work in supporting serving personnel, veterans, and their families. 

There are loads of events happening in our regions, check out more information:
