Engineius Service Update: UK Regional Lockdowns
Engineius continues to operate its full vehicle movement service to support customers and suppliers across all regions and nations of the UK.
Recent weeks have seen major developments in Government policy relating to Covid-19. There is now significant variation in policy, not only between nations (England and Wales, for example), but also within nations (e.g. England’s tiering system).
We would like to reassure all of our partners that, whilst we are monitoring Government policy closely, we do not forecast any regulations that will restrict us from operating.

Please note that Engineius continued to operate a full UK-wide service throughout the first national lockdown implemented in March 2020. During this period, the Government specifically white-listed logistics as a critical function that should continue to operate to keep the country moving.
We see no reason as to why current or future constraints will be more restrictive. However, we would ask that you bear with us if we do experience any delays or disruption due to reduced transport links as a result of tiered lockdowns.
We are, of course, taking all necessary measures to ensure that all suppliers, customers, and staff stay safe at this time. Our full Covid-19 policy can be accessed here. Our contactless handover process can be accessed here.
We will communicate any changes to our operation or government policy that affects the vehicle movement industry to all relevant parties.
In the meantime, we hope everyone is keeping well and safe.
