Dear Sun International Customers
The past few weeks have been unsettling for us all as we wage war with an invisible enemy.
We have learnt so much, but there is still much more that we need to know. In light of this, it is understandable that for the time being, Government has asked businesses to keep protective measures in place at all times.
We are grateful for the partial lifting of restrictions on trade and the opportunity to restart the economy. While the gaming, leisure and hospitality industry remains under Lockdown for now, we are hopeful that we will soon be able to reopen.
As a responsible employer and corporate citizen, we are committed to protecting the health and safety of our employees, our customers and business partners. To achieve this, we have used the period of the lockdown to evaluate the risks of COVID-19 exposure and have initiated processes that will ensure our operations are fully equipped to effectively mitigate and control these risks.
Our on-line sport betting business Sunbet has continued to operate throughout the lockdown and with sports matches and events commencing around the world, Sunbet is a great platform to have a little fun and take a few bets.
Although we are unsure as to when we will reopen, I can assure you that we will be ready to offer you a warm welcome in a safe environment.
My best regards
Anthony Leeming
Chief Executive
