‘With some of our customers indicating that they can safely adhere to the Government’s advice on travelling to work, they are now preparing to recommence operations, with the relevant safety measures in place to reflect the recommendations from Public Health England. Following this and in order to help support them, we are in turn, planning to restart our distribution and production activities from Monday 4th May 2020.’

With their return phased in order to assist with social distancing and reduce the possibility of further infection, PWS will also be enforcing special safety measures across the business, including the implementation of personal protective equipment and staggered shifts.

Stephenson concludes, ‘we are well placed to restart in a very strong position; our stock levels are good and many of our suppliers in Europe have restarted, albeit in a very controlled way. We will continue to communicate and work with our customers to ensure that when we return we continue to deliver the levels of service that the market expects, but for now, please stay safe and we look forward to working with you again very soon.’
