Next starts it online operations again


After shutting down its operations in late March because of the coronarivus pandemic, Next has decided to open its online store again. The company announced that clients will be able to purchase from its website.

While this is good news for e-shoppers, the fashion giant is not working as it usually does. Indeed, it is operating on a limited capacity. This means that it is accepting only a specific number of online orders per day. After that limit is reached, clients have to wait to complete their purchases. A statement on the Next website reveals that the company has “successfully tested opening and taking a limited number of orders”.

Moreover, it advanced that bosses have spent two weeks reworking warehouse operations and they have implemented “practical measures” to ensure the safety of their staff. In a video posted on its website, the firm explained some of the security features taken to protect workers. For instance, there are two-metre floor markings to help staff maintain physical distancing, a one-way movement system and sanitising stations. Workers will also be given “keep clean kits” and tabards with the message “stay 2 metres apart” on the back. Next advances that it has ensured that staff who want to work “feel safe, work safe and are safe”.
