At London-based Winch Design, it’s ‘business as usual’. The Senior Leadership Team has been working hard over the last two weeks to ensure that Winch Design will continue to run as normal and have put in place contingency plans covering all areas of the business, from IT to project management. “Winch Design continues to follow and respond accordingly to the advice shared by the British Government and Public Health England in relation to the global Covid-19 outbreak,” writes CEO Aino-Leena Grapin. “The entire Winch team is now working remotely. As widely understood, it is vitally important that collectively, we work together to slow down the spread of Covid-19 to enable societal and economic recovery. Our teams are highly experienced in working from all four corners of the globe. Each member of the team has been set up to work remotely, with Zoom conference calling abilities, enabling them to continue all communications as normal and to remain as productive as ever. Continuing to work innovatively and intelligently to bring to life the dreams of our clients, as we have for over 30 years.”
