IPM Facilities is continuing to closely monitor developments with respect to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Based on the World Health Organization’s declaration that this is a public health emergency of international concern, the UK Chief Medical Officers have raised the risk to the public from low to moderate.
As a facilities company, we understand the importance of keeping the services to our clients operating so that there is as little disruption to businesses as reasonably possible.
We are taking steps to ensure the safety and wellness of our employees and have reviewed our business continuity plan.
We have established a senior management team that is working to determine the appropriate measures which should be taken during this time. This team will help guide our company’s actions in responding to a potential pandemic, including measures to reduce the spread of the illness and maintaining business continuity including IT, procurement, operations and supply chain functions.
We will be working closely with our customers to determine any potential impacts or delays and are also verifying our suppliers' ability to supply materials to us around the country.
We realize this situation remains very dynamic and will continue to provide updates as we learn more.
Further guidance and advice to assist customers and suppliers in formulating their own procedures can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/wuhan-novel-coronavirus-information-for-the-public
We are confident in our preparation and contingency planning.
