COMMERCIAL QUALITY SHELTER FOR YOUR WORKFORCE
2020 has seen the world change quickly and dramatically with the emergence of the Covid-19 Coronavirus,
and whilst the majority of the nation has been bound by governmental instruction to remain at home, many
key workers have come to the fore to ensure the UK continues to tick over whilst the NHS tends to the sick.
Supermarkets have become sparse focal points, waste disposal operatives have kept the country free to
recycle, and logistics firms and hauliers have quietly and efficiently transported the country’s vital produce
and equipment to their destinations.
With the increase and importance of social distancing, responsible employers are now turning to temporary,
easily erected structures to give themselves effective control over their responsibilities toward building a safe
Britain for our vulnerable members. Gala Tent has seen a big upturn in enquiries and work from the logistics
industry for numerous reasons, so if you are looking to provide effective social distancing measures for your
employees at your unit, be it a distribution centre, call centre or a supermarket, there is a Gala Tent structure
suited to your needs. They can be used for:
Entry and Exit Checkpoints
Large distribution centres or manufacturing plants
often have a large crossover period as shift
changes take place. It can be difficult to control
the in or outflow of staff in an orderly and safe
fashion, so some businesses have placed large
Gala Tent marquees to create checkpoints. This
will then allow your security staff to stem the flow
of large groups at any one time.
Queuing Shelters
With many supermarkets and retailers limiting the
number of customers permitted to enter at any
one time, this leaves sometimes a larger number
of customers outside queuing for their turn to gain
access. If the rain comes spilling from the sky
then this can cause not just disgruntled customers
causing mayhem with staff, but the amount of rain
they can fetch into the store can cause a health
and safety nightmare. Gala Tent marquees, car
ports and gazebos make perfect quickly-erected
shelters, and with a compact 3m wide marquee
available up to 12m in length, you can cover
plenty of patient customers. It’s not just for rainy
days either, as they make ideal shelters from the
sun too.
Prayer Tents
Gala Tent marquees have been used by
responsible employers looking to increase
available space for employees who wish to
practice social distancing during prayer time.
Particularly during the Holy holiday of Ramadan,
the marquees have been an invaluable addition to
the businesses, which have shown fantastic
consideration to all of their staff and their beliefs.
Additional Canteen Space
Again, many large scale operations with shift
workers may find that there are lots of people vying
for space at the same time, so increase your
canteen’s space capabilities by placing a large
Gala Tent marquee close to the building so that
you can ensure everybody is fed and productivity
doesn’t drop.
There are many other applications that a Gala Tent marquee or gazebo will be absolutely invaluable at any large or small scale working operation, but the above are just a handful of the more popular ones we’ve seen over the course of the pandemic. We can offer free next working day delivery on any of our tents, and have a great range of weights and anchorage to ensure full safety of everybody.
