From a business point of view, it makes sense to start developing a winter maintenance plan NOW to ensure everything is in place BEFORE colder climes set in. Taking care of your winter gritting and snow clearance requirements during summer means one less thing on your ‘to do’ list later on in the year.
At the moment we’re enjoying more clement conditions, making it easy to become complacent about severe weather conditions. However, winter WILL arrive and bad winters do have a significant impact on businesses where there has been little or no planning. Business continuity experts have been advising companies to have a winter risk strategy in place for some years now, but only a small percentage of companies do. Business continuity considers many factors and when we speak about ‘global warming’, what we are actually acknowledging is an increase in the frequency of ‘extreme weather’.
What about the subsequent loss of business or reputation?
Ice Watch can help you prepare for extreme weather by implementing an effective, efficient and economic winter maintenance plan so that you can get on with your core business activity. Putting an effective winter maintenance plan in place NOW could even have a positive effect on your next insurance premium, helping your bottom line!
We have used Ice Watch for a number of years and they have provided us with a First Class service keeping our car parks free of snow and ice. I would recommend them.
The service from Ice Watch is a reliable and flexible frost and snow forecasting service with excellent communication. Ice Watch provide an efficient hassle free, excellent cost effective service whilst enabling our staff to go about their work in a safe manner during those cold winter periods.
Ice Watch provide us with a proactive service that keeps our customers’ sites safe and low on risk. With the added comfort of having a full audit trail of works completed that is available real time, as well as agreed maps of the areas covered, we know we have the information to back us up in the event of an incident.
