NEW SOCIAL-DISTANCING MEASURES FOR AUTOPARTS UK
After recently reopening its network of branches, Autoparts UK has implemented strict social-distancing measures throughout its headquarters in Glasgow.
This includes a one-way system in its warehouse to minimise the risk of breaking the two-metre rule while distributing parts, as well as setting up a dedicated ecommerce area to encourage customers to purchase safely and securely online, reducing unnecessary contact with staff.
Craig McCracken, group factor manager, said: “We’ve had a great response since re-opening our doors and it’s important this demand can be met as safely as possible, which is why we’ve been careful to put these procedures in place and are adhering to Government advice as best as possible.”
Over the past few weeks, the company has made an enormous amount of resources available, providing 400 vehicles to NHS and frontline workers free of charge to help them get to work.
Autoparts UK, Midwest Motor Factors and Monmore Auto Parts have also supplied 10,000 disposable seat covers for use by NHS staff.
At Autoparts UK, a team of 10 specialist parts people remain in place to assist blue light workers. Each individual will identify the parts required, collect stock from the branch and deliver it to their premises or be available for collection.
At every Arnold Clark rental location, there are two vehicles being used by essential community groups to assist local people with food and supplies.
