Media providers SIS and ARC have both gone into ‘hibernation’ for the duration of the Coronavirus outbreak.
An SIS statemet announced that it has closed down all non-essential services and given leave of absence to its staff.
Richard Ames, CEO of SIS, said: “SIS is moving into an interim period of hibernation in these extraordinary times. I am pleased to be able to confirm that our intention is to come back just as strongly as before and to be back up and running to serve the needs of our customers as soon as live racing content returns to action.
“We are taking this action to protect the business and to preserve the jobs of our hard-working team. I thank each of them for their fantastic commitment to continuing to service our content partners and customers throughout the last challenging weeks and look forward to welcoming them back into the business as soon as possible.”
Meanwhile ARC’s Head of Business Development Terry Mahoney announced that he would “be spending time away from ARC/TRP” with immediate effect.
He asks that should anyone have: “any questions or queries that need a resolution or a response, then they will be dealt with/forwarded onto the best placed person within the business, again, for the immediate future until you are advised otherwise.”
