COVID-19 Shawcity Company Update

As a key supplier to many businesses including organisations working across the Critical National Infrastructure sectors, Shawcity remains fully operational as a business to ensure we can fulfil our customer needs in terms of health and safety monitoring. 

The Shawcity team is available via phone, email and video calls. We can also offer site visits, conducted within current government guidelines. 

Our current working practices 
Our courier collection and delivery services are all now completely contact-free and we can arrange collection and delivery to any work or home address in the UK. If customers don't currently have access to a printer, our courier can also supply the required labels.

Our Warehouse and Service Centre are both fully functioning as normal, whilst adhering to government guidelines on social distancing and hygiene to contain the risk of contamination. All deliveries are sanitised on arrival and again before dispatch.

For staff working within our business premises we have introduced contactless door entry, social distancing signage and floor markings, further robust cleaning routines, particularly in high contact areas, and have plentiful supplies of gloves as well as sanitiser, hand washing materials and paper towels. All staff and essential visitors record their temperature every day upon entering the building. 

Customer training
One-day training courses for customers on Noise, Air Quality and Vibration in the workplace will resume from September on a strictly limited basis. To book, or find out more about our training dates and discounts available, please contact: marketing@shawcity.co.uk

Exhibitions and events
Our upcoming exhibitions and public-facing events re-start from October 2020, with Contamination Expo being the one major event running this year at the NEC in November. The majority of the events we attend were postponed and will now run in 2021.

Health & safety is more important than ever
A key concern is to assure our customers that we are committed to supporting any and all businesses where health and safety protection is an issue and sometimes life-critical. Safety in the workplace is always our number one priority and no-one should ever feel it is something they have to compromise on.

Please also remember our impartial advice is always free and unlimited.
