Epwin Window Systems has announced a ‘phased and controlled’ reopening of its Telford operation which began yesterday, Monday 4 May.
According to Epwin, the phased reopening will commence with a small team of customer service personnel who will be available to discuss order requirements. During this week, the production plant will fire up with a view to reopening manufacturing facilities from Monday 11 May.
Clare O’Hara, managing director of Epwin Window Systems, said: “The safety and welfare of our employees, customers and suppliers remains paramount and we have conducted extensive risk assessments throughout the business to allow this safe and phased return to work.”
While the initial reopening will operate with a limited workforce in place to support the immediate needs of the business, Epwin says that this will be ‘closely monitored’ on a week-by-week basis and scaled up as and when business levels dictate.
Epwin Window Systems’ marketing team have produced a series of ‘safe-working posters’ which are available for customers to download and use around their premises. The posters are available by emailing Gerald Allen, Epwin Window Systems’ marketing manager, at gallen@epwin.co.uk
Clare concluded: “Like all businesses, in preparation for our phased reopening we have needed to implement workplace safety protocols throughout all business areas and I would like to personally thank all Epwin personnel who have made this happen. I would also like to thank our valued customers for their patience, support and understanding at this time as we look to regenerate a solid platform as the fenestration industry returns.”
