At GEFCO, we’ve been implementing new processes and procedures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure our staff are safe at work whilst maintaining the smooth running of our operations.

Moving around

Guidance markings and barriers have been put in place to ensure that a safe distance is maintained. Where possible one way routes have been implemented.
