Health & Safety Executive Spot Check
During April we also had a spot check visit from the Health & Safety Executive who are carrying out spot checks and inspections on all types of business to ensure they are COVID secure and compliant with government guidance.
We are delighted to say the visit went very well and they were assured that we are doing everything possible to be Covid compliant and keep our staff, customers, suppliers and visitors safe!
