I am sure you have received a number of emails from clients and suppliers referring to the outbreak of COVID-19 Coronavirus. As with all responsible businesses in the UK, we are following all Government regulations and NHS health guidelines in response this growing threat.
I wish to reassure everyone associated with Blake Group, as a top priority we are taking all recommended actions to ensure the health of our people and those we work with.
To better understand our actions and the current situation, below highlights what is happening within the company:
Health & Safety

- Minimising face to face meetings with client factory visits by appointment only
- Staggering break times to reduce numbers in staff canteen area
- Sanitising all surfaces in the office and in staff canteen area
