Many business people are understandably concerned about the developing Coronavirus situation and the potential impact for their organisation.

We can assure you that Whitco has a business continuity framework in place which plans for a variety of potential business continuity incidents, including the impact of pandemic illnesses. Should the Coronavirus position escalate to the extent that we decide to close our offices entirely, as a result of UK authorities recommending large scale quarantine or otherwise, then all key Whitco staff will have full access to our voice, data and IT systems from their homes or any other remote location. The plan is designed to enable us to continue to operate our business and support our customers in such an event.

We are liaising with our suppliers in order to appraise the likely effect of prolonged manufacturing disruption in general, and particularly the impact from China. At present, supply is largely unaffected. We believe, however, that in the event of sustained disruption, shortages may develop resulting in price increases and/or unavailability of some items. We will continue to monitor the position.
