Some families will be una ected, and some will be hugely a ected. At Oyster we are a well-established business and can cope with the storm. In nancial terms we are well used to navigating such situations, whether it be the 2007 nancial crisis or indeed the annus horribilis that has been 2020. We plan for a living, its what we do.
