Keeping Our Staff and Clients Safe
We wanted to keep all our clients updated with the new changes we have in place to minimise contact with courier, refrigerated and light haulage collections and deliveries. Changes from the government occur regularly, please check back here often to make sure you have the latest information.

Our revised measures now include:

  • Gloves and relevant PPE (personal protective equipment) have been supplied to all office staff and drivers, ensuring minimal opportunity for contamination.
  • More hand sanitisers have been distributed across the entire business along with regular sterilisation of office equipment and furniture.
  • Physical interaction has been reduced to a minimum throughout the business, with remote working being implemented where possible and social distancing being mandatory elsewhere.
  • All vehicles have been subjected to an intensified sterilisation process, inside and out, including the driving area and parts regularly touched by hands and feet.
  • Human interaction has been further reduced at delivery points, with deliveries left in pre-agreed ‘safe areas’ or deliveries being unloaded directly by the customers.
  • Food will be kept securely packaged throughout the supply chain with no opportunity for contamination during our handling.

We are proud members of The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and have been following advice and guidance about reducing the risks of Covid-19 for our staff and customers.

With the rapidly changing nature of the COVID-19 outbreak, information and advice from Government can change quickly. For all the latest Government information on COVID-19 and the measures the Government are taking, please visit the UK .Gov on how to protect yourself and others. (Source: www.fsb.org.uk/campaign/covid19.html).
