Initial production would be at a reduced rate, reflecting current market demand.

Since the temporary halting of activities on 23 March, due to the consequences of the coronavirus, the company has put in place stringent health and safety measures to protect employees returning to work.

Initially, only the small number of employees needed to meet current production levels will return to onsite activities while working from home will be encouraged and supported in other areas,such as commercial and administrative functions.

Employees in high risk groups will remain at home.
