Statement COVID-19

20 March 2020

Dear Valued Partner,

You will of course be aware of COVID-19 and the impact it is having on health and business worldwide. The situation is continually changing with government policy developing daily.

We are committed to ensuring a safe workplace for our employees and as such we take this threat very seriously.

Although to date Simplex Knitting have not experienced any disruption in supplies or production, we have been actively putting in place measures aimed at reducing the impact of COVID-19 on our business and that of our customers, whilst complying with Government advice.

Measures in place include, but are not limited to:
• Continually reviewing our supply chain to ensure we understand any potential risks.
• Aiming to keep appropriate levels of raw material and finished stocks.
• Maintaining enhanced health and hygiene measures and standards.
• Providing resources necessary to promote a safe and healthy working environment.
• Modifying normal working practices to improve “social distancing” within the workplace
• Enabling home working where appropriate and practical.
• Restriction of visitors to our site to those considered to be essential for business.
• Restriction of unnecessary travel.

Over the coming months we will endeavour to maintain “business as usual”, as far as this is reasonably practicable without compromising the health or safety of our workforce, in order to reduce any impact on customers.
