How experienced is your safety partner? We've been helping customers stay safe at work since 1884. Here are just some of the ways we've contributed to the nation's safety over the years:
Our team were chosen as winners from an impressive list of six finalists for Safety and Health Practitioner's Most Influential Team Award. When the World Health Organisation declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic and the UK went into lockdown, our team rose to the challenge. Whilst under immense pressure, we successfully distributed 300 pallets a day with 8,000 parcels and distributing over 140m face masks, 18m gloves, over 0.5m coveralls and 0.5m hygiene products.
"The judges were impressed with the fantastic response to the pandemic under immense pressure from the government and the significant challenges it caused to its key workers. Arco’s operations went from 24/5 to 24/7 in less than two days, in order to maintain service and cope with demand, which saw dispatch capabilities more than double."
