COVID-19 Update

To our valued customers and partners

 

On behalf of the GVI Logistics (GVI) Team, we would like to update you on how we are working to address the challenges we face with COVID-19.

The health, safety and wellbeing of our people is of the utmost importance to us, we are following the advice from the NZ Ministry of Health and have a business continuity plan in place which was implemented on 16/03/20.

• To help prevent exposure, if any of our team members feel unwell, we request they remain at home.

• We have split our Auckland based team across our two GVI sites (Laurence Stevens Drive and Timberly Road) to enable them to work independently of each other.

• People, vehicles and contractors are to remain/operate at separate sites to avoid any cross contamination.

• Any of our team who have family members that are required to self-isolate, are also required to remain at home.

• We have those who are able to work from home doing so.

• We have increased our internal cleaning processes, all sites are being cleaned independently daily.

• All of our team have access to hand sanitiser, cleaning products and appropriate PPE. Everyone is required to practice good hygiene and social distancing practices.

• All company travel and face to face meetings have ceased until further notice.

• No contractors or visitors are to be onsite unless it is critical to the continuation of our operation. Anyone entering our sites (with the exception of employees and drivers picking up or dropping off cargo) are required to complete a Health Declaration prior to entry.

• Delivery drivers and contractors are not permitted to use our kitchen or bathroom facilities until further notice, surfaces and our sign in tablets are cleaned after each pick up or delivery.   

We will continue to actively monitor this situation to ensure we are taking appropriate and timely action.

Please be reassured the entire GVI team are taking this situation very seriously as the health and wellbeing of our people remains our number one priority. 

We would like to thank you for your continued support and understanding through this tough time.   

 

Cheers   

Andrew Tilby
