Re-opening of Showrooms from 1 June 2020
The Board of Marshall Motor Holdings Plc notes and welcomes the
Prime Minister's announcement on 25 May that car showrooms will be
permitted to re-open from 1 June 2020.
Implementation of the Company's detailed plans to re-open its
showrooms were already well advanced in anticipation of this
announcement. The Company has been closely involved in the
industry's engagement with Government regarding the implementation
of guidelines specific to the automotive retail sector.
Since the Company closed its operations on 23 March, it has
undertaken comprehensive risk assessments of its sites, produced a
detailed reactivation plan and engaged with and trained all
colleagues returning to work on our revised operating procedures.
The Board is confident that it is taking all necessary steps to
ensure it is COVID-19 secure in line with current Health and Safety
legislation.
The Company's aftersales facilities are now open for all
customers and for all services, having previously been focused on
supporting the emergency services, commercial vehicle operators,
key workers and vulnerable people. Whilst still early, initial
demand is encouraging as we start to ramp-up our aftersales
operations.
In terms of our physical showrooms, in anticipation of a June
re-opening, colleagues had been returning to showrooms and readying
them for re-opening to our customers in accordance with the
Government's sector guidelines. Further colleagues will be
returning over the coming week to assist in the delivery of
vehicles sold both before and during the lockdown following the
Government's recent clarification over 'click and collect'
services.
The Company will provide a more detailed update in due
course.
Daksh Gupta, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"We welcome the Prime Minister's announcement yesterday that car
showrooms will be permitted to reopen from 1 June. We have been
working on our detailed reactivation plans for a number of weeks
with the safety and security of our colleagues and customers at the
heart of those plans. We are confident that, in accordance with the
Prime Minister's announcement, our businesses are COVID-19 secure
and we look forward to re-opening our businesses from 1 June.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Group's
business partners, particularly its brand partners, who have been
incredibly supportive during this period. I would also like to
thank those colleagues who have worked tirelessly through the
lockdown period to ensure we continued to provide both online sales
and aftersales services to our valued customers. Finally, I look
forward to welcoming both our colleagues and our customers back to
our businesses over the coming weeks."
