In an effort to its customers with information on the potential impact of the Coronavirus for Kentec, please read the following statement:

Kentec is following all guidance issued by the UK Government and international/overseas Governments and they will continue to operate as normal as possible given the current global situation and support its customers with supplies of products.

Maintaining Close Communication

Kentec has already implemented all the precautions advised and taken further measures to eliminate the potential risk, particularly in regards to:

  • Employee welfare
  • Visitors welfare
  • Continuity of supply of products and services
  • Transport and logistics

Kentec’s priority is to ensure the well-being of their staff. Kentec is maintaining close communication with all employees, domestically and remotely and have taken precautionary measures to ensure their safety, including a reduction in travel to and within certain countries.

Mitigating The Risk Of Disruption

It is necessary for all visitors to carefully consider if the meeting can be held using web or conference call facilities and have request they complete a risk assessment before travel to Kentec’s offices.

The communication with their suppliers to date indicates that Kentec currently has no supply issues, therefore they estimate that the direct business impact on Kentec will be low. Furthermore, both Kentec and its key suppliers arranged for additional stock to be held at Kentec and its premises to cater for any disruption in relation to Brexit which did not come to fruition. Kentec will continue to mitigate the risk of disruption to its customers and will provide further updates as necessary.
