CAMA Workspace – helping customers return to work safely

We know that many of you have been busy with the challenge of developing your ‘back to work’ strategies whilst ensuring the safety of your teams.

We are here to support you with this transition and update you with our own return to full working capacity.

During lockdown the team at CAMA WorkSpace were volunteering and supporting the NHS and the local community with a skeleton crew.

Now we are moving towards the new normal we’ve been planning on how we can operate fully and support our clients return to work, whilst protecting our employees.

For the past ten days we have been trialling different methods of working, starting with a small crew and building up to full capacity this week. Our warehouse opening times have been extended so that we can ensure that we are minimising the number of people on site at any one time.

We are monitoring developments constantly and adhering to government advice and we will of course continue to adapt and evolve as the advice changes.

We have been working closely with with leading H&S consultant Tony Smith-Allen who ensures the team keeps themselves and the productions safe in these challenging times.

We are now confident that we can support your return to work challenges and requirements, whether it be logistics, removals, transport or storage. And of course we are also 100% committed to supporting your sustainability needs.
