Customer deliveries
Engen says its customer deliveries will not be affected by the labour issues currently confronting other companies. "Except at two depots where we do have contingency plans, we maintain our own bulk fuel transport fleet for purposes of assuring customer satisfaction, and our drivers are not members of the unions that have declared a wage dispute with the Road Freight Employers Association," the company said in a statement.
"Engen does however use third-party vehicles for trans-shipping of our product from depot to depot in some areas. Should our deliveries in this segment of the logistics chain will be affected, we will use our own vehicles and those of non-striking members of the road freight industry as part of our contingency measures," the company promised.
"We assure our dealers and customers that we have done everything possible to minimise the impact of the pending industrial action on our business. However, should you have a query please call 0800 364 36," the statement concluded.
