Watershed Packaging COVID-19 Statement 

As the situation evolves with the spread of COVID-19 worldwide, at Watershed Packaging we are still working hard to ensure we maintain the supply of top-quality packaging materials to our customers.

We have today received clarification that because of our part in the supply chain of food and other key items such as household chemicals and healthcare, we are deemed as an essential business and can remain open. We intend to remain open for as long as possible, and are currently operating on only just below full capacity.

Michael Gove reiterated on BBC Breakfast this morning how important UK Manufacturing is to the economy and how vital it is to keep the supply chain operating fully as long as possible. We thank you for your continued support of our part in this industry.

Only a handful of our suppliers have closed, but we have been able cover these closures as part of our contingency plan.In terms of the workforce at Watershed Packaging, we are taking all possible precautions to try and ensure we are able to keep working at full capacity. All workers that can work from home are already doing so, and those that remain have been separated and segregated as much as possible. We have implemented new cleaning & disinfecting procedures in both Office and Production facilities. Any staff suspected of being unwell are being sent home, and we have digital thermometers to test anyone before allowing them to return to work.

Many thanks for your continued business and support.

Regards,

The Watershed Packaging Management Team
