Logistics BusinessThe Delivery Group Promises Capacity for Crisis Support

Leading eCommerce and specialist mail services firm The Delivery Group has outlined its current position in light of the Coronavirus situation.

Paul Carvell, Chairman, the Delivery Group comments: “Obviously things are changing on a daily basis and we are continuously monitoring the situation and preparing our response accordingly.

“As it stands, we are talking to each of our existing customers and working with them to minimise the impact of the situation on their business.

“We have capacity to relocate services across our network quickly if the situation requires it. We have access to a wide range of delivery partner networks and suppliers and can therefore work with customers to provide alternative solutions where appropriate.”

The Delivery Group has sites in Kent, Warrington, Bristol, Luton and Central London, and the business is keen to use this capacity to support businesses in need during the current crisis.

Carvell continues: “We also want other businesses in the logistics, retail and e-commerce marketplaces to know that we have the capacity and expertise to assist them if required during these challenging times. If businesses are stuck with storage, automation, line-haul or final mile logistics, we have the established partnerships with carriers to enable swift action on their behalf.

“In terms of our own staff, we are taking full precautions in line with guidance issued by Public Health England. As a temporary precaution, we will not be asking people to sign documents for all deliveries, we will be asking them for their name and we will sign on their behalf. We are also asking drivers to respect the decision of our customers and delivery partners with regards to access to their facilities and to maintain hygiene precautions at all times.”
