This would be on a case by case basis and only in exceptional circumstances.

We send individual confirmations for each booking in real-time via email, to one or multiple addresses of your choice. To change, add or remove address/es that you receive booking confirmations on, please contact your Contracts Manager.
If you haven't received a confirmation, or if you'd like to have it resent, please reach out to your Contract Manager.
