REMOVALS IN A STATE OF ALARM BY COVID-19

02/04/2020

Can a move be made during a state of alarm?

It was only a few days ago that we were about to publish promising news about the expansion of the Gil Stauffer and the strengthening of the brand in its 115th anniversary. We wanted to talk about the recent inaugurations of new facilities in our delegations of Zaragoza y Sevillathe incorporation of Isaac Trallero as director of our team in Barcelonaof the important office relocations we were carrying out in MADRIDThe transfer of the Palacio de la Tinta in Málagaof services in Valencia during the Fallas period, of the increase in business that seemed to emerge this year from the documentary safekeeping, storage rooms, storage and specialised services for hotels and insurance companies, as well as commercial actions in our offices of Canary Islands and a series of other events that were to come.

But, sadly, we have all been caught by surprise by the invasion of the evil one. coronavirus technically called COVID-19which is wreaking havoc on the population, causing many thousands of sick people and deaths. The chain of infection is continuing its course, producing devastating effects and a health crisis The brutal crackdown, which has triggered population confinement and a series of other measures that have been tightened over the weeks. With regard to the removals, until 31 March last year, they could be made throughout Spain., provided that the recommended hygiene measures are maximised and that only those services that are strictly necessary are carried outas reported by the Federación Española de Mudanzas in a press release and as a result of a specific consultation of the Ministry of Transport, which had been implemented through the CETM. The sector of removalsThe Commission, almost always in a curious limbo within the generality of transport, from that date onwards, took into account that the performance of removal services is directly dependent on the authority of each Community.

In any case, the fact is that most activities have come to a grinding halt and economic indicators are beginning to show somewhat shocking figures. The removalswhich are highly dependent on the real estate sector, will be revitalised as soon as the neighbouring activities generating the relocations resume.. It is true that we are aware of many customers who have the need to move their belongings, since, for example, there are users who have signed a contract to move their belongings. rental or purchase contracts for new housing and are already doubling the costs of two homes at the same time; a situation that is unsustainable in the short term for many. And this is just one example, but there are others where the help of a company like ours is essential.

Thus, in Gil Stauffer we have been able to help our customers in cases of extreme need. and we hope to be able to continue to do so as soon as possible. For the time being, now, by teleworking, we continue to carry out administrative and commercial work, y making our booking schedule for the coming monthsWe hope they will be very busy given the current standstill. And, through this communiqué, we wish to to express the greatest gratitude to our customerswho, in spite of everything, continue to place their trust in our services and call incessantly to book your removals.

Also, from here, our huge applause to all virtual Spanish healthcareto all the pharmacistsand to scientists e researchers for medicines or vaccinations, to all staff of the cleaningto all those who serve geriatric centresto all employees of basic necessities shopsto all the journalists that inform us minute by minute, police, military and to all those who remain in the front line of risk every day in the common struggle against the ruthless virus. And how could it be otherwise? A big and special round of applause for all our colleagues on the road, for all hauliers, The same is true for those who travel kilometres every day to avoid breaking supply chains so that the public can continue to buy basic necessities, or for those who transport the sick from one place to another, or who transport goods related to medicine or healing.
