With Covid-19 causing drops in volume, the
firm decided to use some of the downtime
to focus on implementing a number of
new operational efficiencies, securing an
average weight per boom increase of 80%
and introducing a new process for yard
management to speed up workflow.
Sophie continued: “At Corbetts, we want to
ensure our key workers, who are committed
to producing galvanised streel for critical
infrastructure and the transport sectors, are
safe.
It has been a really
challenging period, but
I’m very proud of our
outstanding workforce.
“We have increased the levels of deep
cleaning in high traffic areas and altered
the way we do internal meetings so there
are no longer large gatherings in smaller
offices. We have PPE in place, but have had
to order face masks from China as we are
unable to get any stock from the UK.”
She concluded: “We are open for business
and looking to support our existing and new
customers as they safely return to work and
start to get the economy moving again.”
