I know these are very worrying times, so I wanted to take this opportunity to personally reassure you that we are working hard to keep our staff and site craftsmen safe; whilst continuing to fulfil our commitments to our customers and supply chain. I outline below our view of the situation and the steps we have put in place to meet our responsibilities:
We have over the last five years developed and tested a full business continuity plan, I believe this preparation will help us effectively manage incidents such as the COVID-19 outbreak. We have implemented a specific plan in response to COVID-19 based on Government advice.
We have assembled a dedicated team to co-ordinate our approach to the current situation as it evolves. Our entire staff are able to work from laptops; we are in the process of testing our IT infrastructure for mass home working in case we need to restrict access to our offices.
We believe there is likely to be a period over the next couple of months when site works ceases or becomes very difficult. Where possible, to minimise the impact of such restrictions; we have being been working pro-actively and will continue this approach for as long as possible. We are working hard to identify materials, elements and components which may be in short supply and where possible source alternatives.
We are making every effort to limit the spread of the virus including enhanced cleaning of ‘high traffic’ areas. We have amended and will continue to amend our site inductions and tool box talks to reflect the situation as it progresses. We continue to apply our strict glove policy.
I very much hope you remain safe and well.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank our brilliant people who are continuing to work hard during these unprecedented times.
If you have any questions, please liaise with your project team in the first instance; however, I am here to help as far as I can.
