CURRENT AFFAIRS
 
The IBR national number (0870 60 88 500) is changing
Due to Ofcom changes to numbers our national number is changing to 0844 700 8500 (charged at local rate). The 0870 60 88 500 number if called will direct people to the new number. This will be in place indefinitely. So there is NO NEED to panic as the 0870 60 88 500 number will still get your bird back to you (if it is registered in your name). 
Alternatively, you can contact us on 01748 830112, or fax on 01748 830415.
We will be phasing in the new contact number on the rings over the coming 12 months. So if the old number is dialled, a message gives the new number.
