Firstly, we want to thank you all for the continued support that you have shown to us during the recent weeks, our thoughts are with everyone during this challenging time whilst we make adjustments to our personal and business lives.
Given the current situation, we would like to provide you with an update.
Shenzhen & Taizhou factories & supply chain
For our suppliers in China, it’s business as usual. Following strict guidelines set by the local authorities, activities have resumed and they are back to being fully operational. They are at full team capacity and we are pleased to say all team members and their families stayed safe and well during the COVID-19 outbreak in China. All of their supply chain partners for component & assemblies manufacture are working as normal. We do not anticipate any issues in the delivery of components to our customers.
Shipping
Our shipping agent and freight forwarder operations in both the UK and China are operating as normal and within the local authorities guidelines. As to be expected the amount of freight is fluctuating but to date we have not experienced any delays for ocean freight.
UK office
Within the UK we have been asked to postpone all non-essential travel and face to face customer visits, replacing these with remote meetings. We are working from home and are still contactable via phone, email and video conference calls.
Please contact the UK office as normal.
TQT International Ltd had to adapt and learn quickly following the outbreak in China which we believe puts us in a strong position going forward. We will continue to work closely and build on our existing strong relationships to collaborate and share our experiences to get through this challenge as an industry together.
As mentioned above the UK office is still working hard and any questions please contact Warren Temperton on +44 (0) 7521 774618
Take care and stay safe.
