Responding to COVID-19 together
With the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak rapidly evolving, our first thoughts are with everyone affected. As a business our philosophy is to approach the situation with empathy and urgency; with our main priority the health and safety of our team, customers, suppliers, partners and the wider manufacturing community.
We understand the additional pressures and operational issues that you will currently be facing and want to reassure you that we are proactively taking measures to keep our business functioning to ensure we are able to provide the continuous services and support you need during this very challenging time.
- You can call us as normal on 01322 421200 (Dartford) 01684 271400 (Tewkesbury), or email sales@kenard.co.uk
- Our website will be updated regularly.
Our Team
Within our workspaces we are taking additional steps including social distancing and additional safety and cleaning measures to help protect and support our colleagues. We have already put in place the necessary measures to allow employees to work remotely. You will see no change in the reaction time to your emails, queries and phone calls.
Services
Services are currently running as normal; machines are being operated and the warehouse is open to ensure product is delivered to our customers on time. Our engineers are taking every precaution to ensure work areas and equipment are sanitised throughout daily processes.
Employee Travel
We believe that limiting travel is our safest and best option for reducing the risks of infection. During this time, we are postponing visits to the premises to avoid any non-essential contact.
Internal Communications
We are committed to transparency and rapid information sharing with our employees as the situation develops. Our HR and leadership teams are providing updates on the latest developments regularly in anticipation of concerns, questions, or support they, or their customers and families, may need at this time.
We hope this information is helpful in understanding how Kenard is responding to Coronavirus, and we greatly appreciate the continued support of our employees, customers and community. We expect and are ready to iterate our approach constantly and the information here is reflective of our guidelines and practices as of March 24th 2020. We will of course update this post to reflect any key changes to our plan.
In the meantime we would like to wish you and your families well.
