GM of Gulf Pinnacle Investments a 100% subsidiary of Gulf Pinnacle Logistics, Sachin Gupta mentioned that GPL has been successful in overcoming market difficulties arisen from Corona pandemic. Being a labor intensive industry Logistics sector has increased vulnerability to Covid. Its school transportation business i.e. Gulf Pinnacle Transport was severely affected with closure of schools and nonpayment of fee by a lot of schools and parents. However, the company has not terminated any employees and has been successful in exploring alternate projects ensuring business continuity. Gulf Pinnacle Transport won the RTA’s prestigious award for Sustainable Transport in 2018.
Gupta further added, that there were interesting times when our delivery boys in Century Express Courier Services were not sure if they were allowed to operate during lockdown. The team worked relentlessly to keep track of the latest regulations to ensure strict adherence for timely delivery of parcels which was the only way for business to work. We feel proud when we look back to our happy customers who eyed us during those crucial times. One of the many challenges was keeping team’s morale upbeat, remember when we were all locked in homes due to fear of virus, delivery boys were out there delivering parcels!!
Similarly, there was a constant challenge of business continuity in our Jebel Ali businesses, Abdul Mushen Shipping and So Safe Logistics. Dipped market activity soon returned to normal, however corona threat on labor accommodation has always been a looming problem. Accommodation of labor teams in different locations in case quarantine of a building came in quite handy.
The Board, which includes Shailesh Dash, the well-known investment expert, added that they have been providing flexible payment options for their students to assist in easing the financial woes of the parents. From safety trainings to making accommodation arrangements for the employees who required quarantine, from providing paid leave for employees affected by COVID to allowing high risk / pregnant employees to continue to work from home - the company is committed in ensuring there is employee safety in these tough times.
