[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n RNS Number : 8398M\n MJ Gleeson PLC\n 14 May 2020\n \n \n \n \n MJ Gleeson plc \n (GLE.L)\n \n \n (\"Gleeson\" or \"the Company\")\n \n \n \n \n \n For immediate release \n \n \n \n \n \n 14 May 2020\n \n \n Covid-19 Update\n \n \n Reopening of sites and sales offices\n \n \n \n \n \n Following the Prime Minister's statements on Sunday 10 and Monday 11 May, and in line with the latest guidance from the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities, and Local Government, the Board has decided to implement its plan for a phased re-start of activity. \n \n \n \n \n \n Gleeson announced on 25 March 2020 a controlled wind down and closure of site and sales activity. To support customers that had already exchanged prior to closure, we allowed a limited number to complete their purchase and, in line with official guidance, move into their new homes. Since then, and in anticipation of the Government's announcement, Gleeson has been preparing a detailed plan to restart, on a phased basis, build and sales activity across its 67 sites. \n \n \n \n \n \n Covid-19 Secure\n \n \n \n \n \n Our paramount concern is the safety of our staff, subcontractors and customers. We have developed rigorous new working protocols which are at the least fully compliant with, or exceed, the Government's Covid-19 Secure guidance and which are supported by Public Health England and the Construction Leadership Council.\n \n \n \n \n \n These protocols include revised operating procedures and we are implementing training programmes to ensure that all our people are clear on what is required to ensure a safe environment. We have designed clear signage and will be providing on-site guidance, including Social Distancing Marshalls, to ensure safe working on site. We will also ensure that all our staff and site visitors have the requisite PPE and we will deploy a range of strict cleaning, handwashing and hygiene procedures.\n \n \n \n \n \n Phased re-start\n \n \n \n \n \n We will have reopened up to half of our sites for limited build activity by the end of this week and all sites will have reopened by the end of June. Initial on-site activity through May and June will focus on preparing site infrastructure and other ground-level works ahead of building out our forward order book.\n ...
