\nA change of life. A change of discipline for us all.\u00a0With this week being one of the most rollercoaster and challenging times in our lives, I struggle to call these present days typical.\u00a0Currently I wake up at 6.30am and normally I’m in front of the laptop by 7.30am<\/p>\n
\nUnfortunately and as with the majority of the country, working from my home office is now becoming the norm, utilising our remote access and direct links to all our facilities. Our warehouse \/ production facilities and mobile service are fully open, providing a diversity of products and services to support UK mainline services in these times of need.\u00a0We our constantly monitoring the government guidelines and continuing to provide the upmost safety procedures and equipment to all our first-class dedicated staff and customer.<\/p>\n
\nIn light of the current unprecedented times my day is spent communicating with our customers on the telephone and emails and increasingly incorporating social media.\u00a0Having such a diversity of customers, including end users, stockists, distriutors, OEM and manufacturing, to name just a few, ongoing daily communication is a key.<\/p>\n
\nHaving not visited customers over the last week, but spoken with many, the general consensus I feel is uncertainty, but a large degree of togetherness.<\/p>\n
\nNormally meeting such a diverse range of customers and discussing their requirements and providing the appropriate solutions. This has now become even more important in communicating with our customers and staff.<\/p>\n
\nWorking from home has forced me into totally different disciplines; setting out timescales, tasks and goals throughout the day.<\/p>\n
\nOur challenges are changing by the day. Currently we have a highly motivated and dedicated staff with the usual stock available for next day delivery.<\/p>\n
\nWe have a unique opportunity and are strategically situated in the marketplace, having such a diverse product range, combined with a high level of investment to be able to provide first-class total fluid solutions in the months and years to come.<\/p>\n
\nWorking closely with our key stockist and distributor\u2019s to enhance their access to our full product range.<\/p>\n
\nI’m always meeting different people.<\/p>\n
\nCurrently the working day continues way into the evening.<\/p>\n
\nDuring normal times, I am a level four football referee and normally I’m out every Saturday. Having played football for many years, this has given me the opportunity to give something back to the sport. I also\u00a0spend quality time with my family.<\/p>\n
\nStay focused, disciplined, proactive, optimistic and look after everyone.\u00a0Hopefully out of diversity, something positive will come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
