Bidvest International Logistics Road Freight Division welcomed Lockdown Level 4 with a message of optimism and caring for staff and clients.
Says Marcus Ellappan, BIL’s Road Freight Director, “We are excited to play our role in kickstarting the economy with 60% of employees at work today. These are staff who service various sectors that are deemed to be essential and include operations and admin staff.
“The opening of most of our branches is in line with our clients’ forecasted requirements. To mitigate risks and ensure compliance to best practices and legislated requirements, we have implemented several measures at all our premises to prevent potential COVID-19 cases from entering workplaces.
“These include conducting no-contact temperature screening, the wearing of cloth masks while on site and strict social distancing adherence,” explains Marcus.
“We are facing the future with optimism and are here to support our clients through all levels of the lockdown,” he concludes.
