Coronavirus is having a worldwide effect on everybody from both small and large businesses, our personal lives, and national economies.

The daily changing circumstances we're having to deal with mean we have to respond in the correct manner.

At Greg Paulson Same Day Couriers our priority is the health and safety of its employees, including office staff, our drivers, and also our customers. However, we still need to make sure that we're able to carry out the delivery of our client’s goods, whilst not compromising the extremely high standards we expect of ourselves.

There is still a massive amount of uncertainty regarding COVID-19, but one thing is certain, practicing good hygiene can help us all control the spread of Coronavirus. As our delivery drivers are the ones who are on the front line, so to speak, we have ensured that they have been fully equipped with the correct protective items. This includes face masks, protective gloves, antibacterial hand sanitiser. Also, we have supplied them with disinfectant sprays and wipes to clean the cab of their vehicles at the end of each day. It is so important that we make sure the people who keep our courier company going are kept safe, and that the collection and delivery of our customer's freight keep happening, and we are highly committed to doing this.

We’re keeping a close eye on the ever-changing situation and reviewing things on a daily basis ensuring we adapt swiftly to any changes in the circumstances when required.

We are continuing to work to the maximum that is possible and doing our best to continue to do so.

Whatever your delivery requirements are, please feel to give us a call on 0161 436 3296 or get in touch with us at enquiries@gregpaulsoncourier.co.uk, we'd be pleased to help.
