COVID-19 (Coronavirus) update – 22nd March 2020
We would like to take the opportunity to express our concerns for the community and we hope all of our clients and their extended families are safe and well.
Today the state Governments announced a shutdown of New South Wales and Victoria other than essential services with further information to come. Tasmanian, South Australian, Western Australian and Northern Territory Governments announced a closing of their borders. The Queensland Government has also requested all residents to stay within your neighborhood.
The implications of these announcements mean that there will be a substantial tightening of the social distancing rules and the rules around the movement within the community.
At VoxGroup we have implemented work from home protocols to allow our staff to be safe and our clients to receive a continued level of exceptional service.
In relation to airfreight there is still some flights arriving and some space available however it is at premium rates. We ask that you book with us as early as possible. We will keep you up to date on the applicable rates and services available however there has been delays with imports and exports of airfreight.
In relation to seafreight whilst there is space issues caused by blank sailings from the shipping lines the overall process has not changed considerably.
VoxGoup is continuing to monitor all announcements from governments and will continue to advise our clients as the situation changes. Whilst information and approaches are changing daily, at VoxGroup we are trying to provide as much consistency as possible to allow our clients to plan accordingly.
We ask that our clients advise if there is changing delivery requirements within your business. This can include changes in store opening hours, changes in delivery addresses or if you need us to arrange storage for any length of time. We are here to assist you with all of your needs.
If you require further information please speak to us and we can provide greater information. |
