admin British Fashion retailer Next reported it had reopened its online businesses ‘in a very limited way’, with implementation of additional Covid-19 safety measures and consulted with staff and the relevant union.
‘Initially only categories that our customers most need will be offered, such as childrenswear and selected small home items,’ said Next. ‘Other product ranges may be added at a later date,’ it further added.
Operations would be conducted by employees were ‘willing and able to safely return to work’. The sale of a relatively low volume of products would mean the company only required a less number of employees onboard. Customers would only be permitted to order a number of items that could be picked safely on any given day. Once the situation reach at the point, Next stated it would stop taking orders and convert the website to ‘browse only’ until the following morning.
Next had declared the closure of the online business on 26 March, having already closed all of its retail stores.
