UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson announced on Monday (4th January 2021) a new national lockdown for England until at least mid-February to combat a fast-spreading new variant of the Coronavirus (COVID-19 virus), in order to save lives and protect our NHS.

The most recent UK Government guidance has made it clear that construction and manufacturing work should continue throughout the United Kingdom (UK) and sites are to remain open as construction ‘is essential to keeping the country operating’.

Lorient’s facilities remain fully operational

Lorient is, therefore, pleased to confirm that their manufacturing and testing facilities remain fully operational once again, and it’s back to business at Lorient for 2021!

It is important to note that throughout 2020; the company implemented many changes to their production facility and working practices, so as to meet the UK Government’s ‘COVID-19 Secure’ guidelines; and they maintain these rigorous controls to this day.

Lorient continues to monitor the evolving situation

Lorient will continue to monitor the evolving situation and update customers accordingly; but in the meantime please contact their teams with any enquiries.
