We continue to actively monitor the rapidly evolving situation regarding Covid-19. The health and wellbeing of all personnel remains our priority, therefore in accordance with Government advice, preventative guidance from Public Health England (PHE) and instruction from the Association of Pallet Networks (APN) a revised process is now necessary for signature capture. This will apply to Electronic Devices, Printed Schedules and Customer Own Paperwork for ALL Pallet Networks to help prevent further spread of this infection.
With immediate effect and no later than 20th March 2020 the following process must be adopted by all depots and remain active until further notice.
