these are uncertain times, affecting all of us. This is why I believe I should keep you up-to-date with the current situation at Rivièra Maison. In order to stop the spread of the corona virus as much as possible, we have taken various precautionary measures in order to protect our people and customers. You can rest assured that we are taking account of all the rules and regulations. Nothing is more important than the health of the people close to us.
On the part of the government and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), we have been asked to work from home as much as possible. Where we can, we are doing so, but there are also a few awsome individuals who cannot do their work from home, such as our store personnel and our logistics staff members who make sure that your orders are being delivered every day. We are working hard with a team behind the scenes on a new collection and the showroom for our autumn/winter collection. I am extremely proud of our people who still contribute with so much commitment and passion under these difficult circumstances.
Insofar as possible, our stores will remain open, although with adapted opening hours.
Our online store will remain open 24/7 and during the entire week online orders and furniture will also be delivered.
This is without any doubt the most challenging period for us, but also for you and and people all over the world. Let's overcome it together, step by step. Yesterday, I head from acquaintances from China (Shanghai) that public life is gradually resuming again. The stores are almost all open, public transport is operating and restaurants in large cities are filling up again, this gives the citizens courage.
For now, I wish you much health and togetherness, our slogan now applies more than ever.
