Grace Foods UK Limited's Statement on Covid-19
Grace Foods UK Ltd. (GRACE) is taking all the necessary steps to play our part in the containment andreduction of the transmission of the Covid-19 virus. We are committed to the protection of our staff while we maintain our service levels to all our stakeholders.
Grace monitors the health and condition of its Staff and sub-contractors which is governed by a policy from our Parent Company (GraceKennedy Limited). All of these measures are intended to minimise the potential exposure to, and spread of the virus. While we continue to diligently monitor the evolving situation daily we are always taking steps to ensure the safety and wellness of our employees. We have identified areas which we consider critical to operate. Within these areas, we have operational continuity plans to ensure we have sufficient resources to keep all areas of the business running (office, distributioncentre, manufacturing)
Accordingly we have decided that all Visitors and Sub-Contractors visiting our offices be screened through a series of questions and have determined that should any of the questions be answered in the affirmative,such individuals will be denied access to our offices. The questions are non-invasive but do seek to determine whether or not these individuals demonstrate any of the symptoms of the virus such as shortness of breath, coughing and high temperature/fever.
GRACE ensures that for its own Drivers (Staff of GRACE) who will be either collecting or delivering from/for customers, that they:
- Are not experiencing any of the symptoms related to Covid-19
- Have not been in contact with anyone who has contracted the virus
- Have not in the last 14 days, visited countries outside the UK that have been identified as a major risk. These countries are constantly reviewed.
Grace has also been working diligently with our suppliers to ascertain any supply chain risk relating to Covid-19 and taking contingency measures where practicable (including building safety stocks and ensuring our suppliers are implementing necessary measures themselves).
Grace will continue to monitor the situation as well as Government announcements and will take the necessary steps to protect our work force and ensure business continuity while maintaining supply to our valued customers.
We remain committed to providing the superior service and support that our customers have come to expect of our company throughout this situation.
