COVID19
In light of the current situation regarding the COVID19 pandemic, our senior management team would like to assure our employees, customers, contractors and suppliers that we are closely monitoring the situation, have robust procedures and plans in place to manage and maintain our operations, and are taking all possible precautionary measures to protect the health, safety and well-being of our employees and contractors on site.
We have contingency plans to ensure the welfare of our livestock is not affected, our customers are not disrupted, and that supply of our products remains undisturbed. We will continue to communicate with our customers and will immediately inform our customers if there is a likelihood of any change to this status.
We will maintain health surveillance measures for all Capestone personnel and contractors, following advice from Public Health Wales, World Health Organisation and government agencies.
As a precautionary measure, we will restrict all non-critical visitor access to our site to reduce the risk of coronavirus spread until such time as the risk of the coronavirus reduces significantly.
We hope that the measures outlined above will provide you with the assurances that we will continue to deliver our services to the highest possible standard. If you have any queries or concerns that you would like to discuss then please do not hesitate to contact us on 01437 781247.
As noted above, we have restricted all non-business critical visits to site. If you have been requested to attend site by a member of the management team, you must submit the form below 48 hours prior to your visit. No access will be granted to the site if this form is not submitted.
Please email completed forms to info@capestoneorganic.co.uk for a member of our Senior Management Team to authorise.
