Store portfolio update
 
Ramsdens, the diversified financial services provider and retailer, is a provider of certain services which the UK Government has categorised as essential.  As a result, the Group's 85 stores in England will remain open and continue to serve customers during the current four-week national lockdown. 
 
Ramsdens has continued to operate its 19 stores in Wales during the two-week 'firebreak' lockdown scheduled to end on 9 November 2020. The Board currently believes that, should Scotland announce restrictions on non-essential retail, the Group's 49 stores in Scotland are also likely to remain open to customers. 
 
The health and wellbeing of all Ramsdens' employees and customers remains a priority for the Group and all stores will continue to operate with strict hygiene and safety measures in place. 
 
Ramsdens is continuing to operate and serve customers through its e-commerce websites as usual.
