Cyber Incident

 

Safestyle, the leading retailer and manufacturer of PVCu replacement windows
and doors to the UK homeowner market, reports that it has recently been the
subject of a cyber incident in its business.

 

On becoming aware of the incident, the Group immediately engaged external
specialists and has taken precautionary measures with its IT infrastructure,
including taking its systems offline whilst it continues to investigate the
nature and extent of the incident and implement its systems recovery plan.

 

The Group remains operational, continuing to sell, survey, manufacture,
install and service its customers although some of our contact centre response
times are longer than usual.  All of the Group's payment processes, including
receiving payments from customers which are transacted through third parties,
as well as making payments to its staff and suppliers, have continued as
normal.

 

The Group is working with the police and relevant regulatory authorities and
will provide further updates as and when appropriate.
