Home working and risk assessed production facilities ensure continuity of customer support and supply while staff fund raise for NHS
Corona virus update from Intelliconnect (Europe) Ltd the UK based specialist manufacturer of RF, waterproof and cryogenic connectors and cable harness assemblies.
While Intelliconnect may not have had a specific ‘global pandemic’ Business Continuity Plan they quickly adapted their standard B.C.P. and bought in any additional equipment that was required to allow more than 90% of their staff to work from home. For those that continued to work at either the Corby or Chelmsford sites risk assessments were carried out and measures were introduced to ensure it was safe to do so.“Intelliconnect have been able to continue to work uninterrupted throughout this difficult time.” Comments Steve Groves, Global Sales Director of Intelliconnect. “And while our gardens might not look as nice as some of our furloughed neighbours, we are grateful that we have been able to service our customers and keep busy. In the last weeks we have seen orders and enquiries start to exceed pre-lockdown norms and we are very much looking forward to a little ‘business as usual’.
Intelliconnect continue to review their working practices and in line with the Government’s strategy are looking at how they can best instigate a phased return to their facilities.
Groves continues, “Our teams’ health, both physical and mental, is of paramount concern and we will only return staff to work when it is safe to do so. We have been very fortunate and so far have had no confirmed cases of COVID-19 amongst our teams but we appreciate not everyone has been so lucky.”
To support the wider community members of staff have taken on the ‘Intelliconnect NHS charity challenge’ to raise funds for two local hospitals and the heroes that work in them who have supported so many individuals and their families during this period.

Week 2 -25 miles running
Week 3 – 25 miles on bike

Steve ends, “I started this last Monday and completed the cycling week without need to go to A&E, but I am struggling this week with the running challenge so all the donations will help gee me along!”
