Below is a rundown of the process we will follow, the stages where you will hear from us with information and advice, and the people we will introduce you to along the way. There are a lot of things to think about and a lot of information to take in during this process, so we are careful to provide you with the information that is relevant to you at each stage of the process.
We take a team approach to giving you the Roost Boost so you can expect to hear from different team members during the journey.
