COVID 19 Update
What is coronavirus and should I be concerned?
A coronavirus is a type of virus. As a group, coronaviruses are common across the world.
Generally, coronavirus can cause more severe symptoms in people with weakened immune systems, older people, and those with long term conditions like diabetes, cancer and chronic lung disease.
What are the signs and symptoms of this new virus?
The most common symptoms of this new coronavirus (COVID-19) are a new continuous cough and/or high temperature. Some people may also experience muscle aches, tiredness and shortness of breath.
How does this new coronavirus spread?
The main route of transmission is from cough and sneeze droplets. These droplets fall on people in the vicinity and can be directly inhaled or picked up on the hands and transferred when someone touches their face.
How long any respiratory virus survives will depend on a number of factors; for example:
what surface the virus is on
whether it is exposed to sunlight
differences in temperature and humidity
exposure to cleaning products
Under most circumstances, the amount of infectious virus on any contaminated surfaces is likely to have decreased significantly by 24 hours, and even more so by 48 hours.
Am I allowed to leave my house?
In order to prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), you should only leave your home for the following essential purposes:
shopping for basic necessities, as infrequently as possible
one form of exercise a day - for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household;
any medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person; and
travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home.
Restaurants, pubs, non-essential shops and other businesses have closed. Essential businesses such as food shops and pharmacies remain open.
You should not meet up with friends or family members who don’t live in your house.
If someone in your household has symptoms of coronavirus (a new continuous cough or high temperature), you should all stay inside the house for 14 days. Ask someone else to pick up supplies for you and leave them outside.

Testimonials
Viridor have been using Kingdom Recruitment to supply temporary labour for the last 4 years across all of our Greater Manchester sites, including St Helens, Skelmersdale, Runcorn and Sheffield.
We have developed a great working relationship, mainly due to the dedication and service that the team give us. The quality of temporary staff that have been provided have been of a high standard.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Kingdom Recruitment to not only Waste/Recycling businesses, but to any business who require a temporary labour provider.
William Kitchen
Milliken have used Kingdom for the provision of their peak labour requirements since June 2004. I would like to thank them for the support and commitment that has been provided with consistently high quality recruitment services over that period. They advocate a long term approach recognising the need to recruit a high calibre workforce that will engage with the companies philosophies and standards. The commitment and dedication has been second to none and I would have no hesitation in recommending Kingdom to any forward thinking organisation seeking a recruitment partner.
Hadfields have used Kingdom Recruitment for temporary agency labour since 2009. They have always provided staff of a high calibre, so much so that many are now permanent employees. The service levels that Kingdom work to are superb and they always manage our ad hoc requirements with efficiency and speed. I hope to continue our working relationship for many years to come and have no hesitation in recommending them to any forward thinking organisation requiring a recruitment service.
I have dealt with Kingdom Recruitment for three years in my current role as an Operations Supervisor, which is supervising the day to day cleansing operation in the City Centre of Manchester.
I have been supplied with staff for both the City Centre cleansing operation, and for the numerous events the City holds such as Manchester International Festival, the annual Christmas Markets and other smaller events. I have found the staff provided have been hard working, polite, punctual and will to go the extra mile.
The on-site support has been extremely helpful, when any problems/issues have arisen during the time that the staff have been with us, I would have no hesitation in taking on some of the staff in a full time role, when full time vacancies become available.
I would highly recommend Kingdom Recruitment as a temporary labour provider.
Mr Graham Hodson-Ridgway
I have used Kingdom Recruitment for a number of years now and the office staff are really friendly and extremely helpful and have helped me out with staffing at very short notice, they are contactable 24 hours a day and at weekends. The staff are hard working friendly and very reliable, they fit in with the staff I have on site and work to a very high standard. I have contracts on customer sites and it is vitally important to me that I maintain a high standard of work and Kingdom Recruitment have helped me achieve that.
