Strategic reopening
5th May 2020

NEW WORLD DEVELOPMENTS, which includes Apeer Doors, Lumi Windows and Isolate Fire Doors, reopened with a skeleton staff as of yesterday (May 4).

The company says this is the first step in strategic phased return, which also includes the provision of PPE equipment and hand sanitizer cleaning stations, regular temperature checks, deep cleaning of all work areas and strict social distancing regulations, which will be carefully monitored and enforced by its management.

Orders in hand will be managed first with production increased steadily during the next few weeks. However, new orders for each of its brands will be taken as usual and delivery will be advised by the company’s staff, subject to ongoing restrictions that may remain in place.

“We have spent the past few weeks developing plans in preparation for when the Government and its advisors advise on a safe return to work,” said managing director Asa McGillian. “As there are early indications that this may be happening in the coming weeks, we have begun to re-start our business. However, we will only continue in line with the Government’s advice and if we are confident that our staff and customers’ welfare is secure.

“None of us knows what the near or long-term future holds but we believe that we are now in a position to respond appropriately and positively to the advice received and across the next few weeks and months, to our customers’ needs.”
