Some spam filters may also prevent emails from us being delivered if they think the content is abusive for example if they contain sexual words so please check your email’s spam or junk folder as occasionally our replies will go in there.

If you have problems receiving a reply please feel free to contact us again or leave a message on our call back phone: 0131 556 9437. Please let us know if it is okay for us to call you back, and if so whether it is okay for us identify who we are or leave a message.
