On Sunday 10 May 2020, the UK prime minister announced, “We now need to stress that anyone who can’t work from home, for instance those in construction or manufacturing, should be actively encouraged to go to work.”

The government has been working to establish new guidance for employers to make workplaces covid-secure. Our business has been operating at a reduced capacity, following all government and public health England’s latest guidance during this time. When further guidance is released, we will revise our safe operating procedures to reflect additional instructions.

We are proceeding in a cautious manner, the safety of our workforce, supply chain and customers are at the forefront of every decision we make. We will constantly evolve and enhance our plans, develop our logistics, consult with our teams, suppliers and customers about further changes and their obligations.

We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone across all stakeholders for their fortitude, support, and compassion through these most extraordinary times.
