Solco...waiting to get back to work.

During WW2, when the majority of the manufacturing industry in the USA was focused on the war effort and marketing budgets were being slashed to the bone or non-existent, the then CEO of Heinz, Jack Heinz, chose to continue marketing his product range. When asked "Why"? his response was "One day the war will be over and I want my brand to be remembered" 

Between 1941 and 1946, Heinz sales nearly doubled to $4m. 

I am offering to help retail outlets in Linden with postings like this to maintain their brand profile while they are in lockdown.

So, just like Heinz, they too will come out stronger and in a better position to tackle their post lockdown marketing strategies.

Unlike the Ruperts, Oppenheimers and Motsepes of this world, I don’t have R1b in my bank account to donate to the war chest, so this effort is my contribution to that initiative.

This is the company that installed our system. 

Under the supervision of Technical Director, Bernard Ridge,

his team worked quickly and efficiently to have

 the complete system running within 3 days.

Why did we choose Solco?

1] My initial contact with the company was dealt with promptly.

2] Appointments that were scheduled were kept. If there was going to be a delay,

this was conveyed via What's App.

3] We were offered two quote options, with and without panels, 

both of which were professionally completed.

I put these questions to Bernard Ridge, the Technical Director of the company

 How long has the business been operational?

30 years

Does it cover/is it in or close to Linden?

Yes we operate from Northriding

How many staff members do you employ and where are those staff members currently?

The company employs 7 staff members and with the exception

of 2 Solar Engineers for maintenance, the others are safely at home.

What arrangements have you made for your staff during the lockdown?

Staff are all being paid during lockdown

What arrangements have you made with your staff about reemployment

post lockdown?

We have a full schedule post lockdown so will be back to normal

Do you anticipate becoming operational again once the lockdown has

been lifted?

We will be fully operational once we are allowed to get back to work.

How are you dealing with your debtors and creditors?

All creditors are paid to date, some debtors are outstanding

 When you reopen will you be offering any ‘specials’ or sales in order to

get cash flowing again?

We have several projects to complete and therefore we are not offering specials.

What would you like to say to readers about your brand that will

make it “front-of-mind” once this is all over? 

Solco Solar are servicing all 6000 clients during the lockdown and have a

a full schedule for the first 10 days after lockdown.

We will continue to offer great prices for all products to Linden and

surrounding residents.

 How are you dealing with the mental aspect of the closure of the

business and the fear that both you and your staff might share going

forward?

We are looking forward to getting back to work as soon as possible.

Support local, support Linden.
