Following the strain created by COVID-19 and the recent unrest in the country, it is now that many businesses are feeling the impact more than ever before. MasterDrive recently strategised ways to help businesses meet their health and safety requirements while easing the burden it has created. One result was to not increase travel charges for the second year in a row.
The health and safety of clients is paramount along with the need for them to continue working. The CEO of MasterDrive, Eugene Herbert, explains: “The importance of the community standing together to ease the economic strain on businesses so that we can emerge from these difficulties as a united country is essential. Despite dramatic increases in the fuel price we have opted to do our part by not increasing travel charges.
“It is a small token that could result in significant cost-savings for many businesses going forward. Many departments will be under tremendous strain to reduce costs associated with providing their product or service. This is MasterDrive’s way of giving you a cost-reduction for your budget going forward.”
South Africa has also proven itself as a country that can come together for the benefit of all its citizens. “As such, MasterDrive is committed to being part of the solution and helping fellow businesses continue equipping their drivers with the skills needed to keep them safe on the roads or in meeting their health and safety requirements during a time that it is more essential than ever. We also have a number of other programmes and tools for our clients that we encourage you to not hesitate to ask about.
“In the current climate, keeping our travel charges the same is a natural next step. As we always say, we are dedicated to playing our role in ensuring the country moves forward and comes out stronger and better than before,” says Herbert.
