Dear Beatties Customer,
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to create chaos in our country and across the whole world, but here at Beatties Distribution we are as prepared as we can be with this ever-changing situation.
We are providing our full service at this time, with no delays, giving you peace of mind that we can continue to provide you with the same service you have come to expect from us. Due to this, all Beatties Distribution Staff are working at 100% capacity with precautionary measures in place for the health of workers.

Beatties are prepared
• We have prepared all administration and support staff to work remotely, if required.
• We have reviewed and tested our business continuity/contingency plan.
• We have contingencies in place for all of our Drivers and Warehouse Team
• We have effective protocols in place to prevent the spread of any potential virus through our office.
• We are following government advice and reviewing the situation daily.
• We are committed to looking after our team and our customers during this difficult time.

Many companies have already decided to make redundancies or temporary layoffs but I want to reassure you through this communication that we are going to fight to make sure that this is an absolute last resort decision for us. Indications are positive and indeed suggest that we will see an increase in business with the greater requirement for social distancing and therefore growth in home deliveries.
With more and more people working from home we also anticipate that rather than making one delivery to a central business address, multiple deliveries to private addresses will be required. Government has also stated that the transport supply chain will receive special support going forward and we will update you as the situation.
We firmly believe that whilst the future holds a lot of uncertainty for everyone, we should not lose sight of what we do best in the face of adversity, let's keep our heads down, work hard for each other and together we shall get back to the place that has made us the leading distribution company in our marketplace.
Thank you for your patience. Please stay safe and look out for each other.
Kind Regards
Stephen Beattie
