) will reopen its online business having implemented additional safety measures to cope with the coronavirus emergency, it said on Tuesday.
The online operation, which provides over half of Next’s revenue, has been closed since March 26. The retailer’s stores were shut on March 23, a day before Britain went into lockdown.“Next has since implemented very extensive additional safety measures and having consulted with colleagues and our recognised union, USDAW, it will re-open online in a very limited way from today,” the retailer said.
Next said operations will start with support from staff who are willing and able to safely return to work. To achieve these limited volumes, the company will only allow customers to order the number of items that it believes can be picked safely on any given day.
