According to a recent statement, Barclays business managers will work closely with individual businesses to understand their ‘particular needs’ and help them get through any difficulties, such as flooding.
With the bank recently confirming that recently resigned chief executive Bob Diamond will ‘forego’ almost £20m in bonuses and shares, customers will be hoping that the ‘package of assistance’ offered to those affected by the bad weather will be more substantial than a few sandbags.
Barclays also suggests keeping important personal documents in ‘sealed plastic bags’, but assured holders of its home insurance policies that they are covered for standard damage caused by storms or floods.
