Helen Gatlneau | [3:35] | I'm sure you've all heard that we're going to be merging with Fresh Food Wholesalers at the end of next month. We will have a meeting to discuss transition plans next week. But in the meantime, I will try to answer questions you may have about the merger. |
Leo Kinghorn | [3:36] | Everyone in the purchasing department is wondering how we will be affected by the change. Are there any firm details available? |
Mimi Hanway | [3:38] | It's my understanding that administrative functions will be carried out in only one building for efficiency's sake. As a result, administrative personnel, including me, will be moving to the Fresh Food Wholesalers' building in the coming weeks. |
Helen Gatlneau | [3:39] | That's right. But, we are going to maintain separate warehouse facilities at their present locations. |
Jude Mason | [3:41] | Any idea how that will change my routine? |
Helen Gatlneau | [3:42] | You'll stop at both facilities before taking your deliveries to the retail store, Jude. We'll hire additional warehouse workers to speed things up so you have time to visit both spots. They will help you load items. |
Leo Kinghorn | [3:45] | You know, the workers at Fresh Food Wholesalers will probably need to take a health and safety seminar before they can handle meat. I believe that Fresh Food Wholesalers hasn't dealt in meat products yet. |
Helen Gatlneau | [3:47] | That makes sense. I'll arrange for instructors to visit as soon as possible. |
