Coronavirus: Internet giant showcases action to protect staff in Peterborough
Organisers of Covid safety tours of internet retailer Amazon’s Peterborough centre say they are delighted with the response from businesses.
Amazon has teamed up with Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce to stage the tours that are designed to illustrate the range of measures installed to ensure the centre can operate within social distancing and safety guidelines.
John Bridge, the chamber’s chief executive, said: “We were delighted that 100 people toured the Amazon centre. Feedback has been full of praise. Visitors were impressed by the very high standards they saw which they can implement within their own businesses.”
Victor Pulido, the centre’s general manager, said: “We’re delighted to be able to show chamber members how we implemented these measures.”
Rob Massey, director at Forum Packaging, which employs 90 people, said: “Amazon has taken a comprehensive approach to the issues raised by coronavirus and I was very impressed by how the new procedures seem to have been adopted by everyone.”
