AGRER - Covid-19

To our clients, project teams and partners
As you know the situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic is pretty alarming – many governments are taking safety and containment measures.
Yesterday, Belgian Government decided to go into lockdown in the whole country, affecting all social activities, and part of economic activities in Belgium until 5 April. International travels are also under restrictions.

I want to make clear to all of you that AGRER is continuing its activities and ensures follow-up of all ongoing projects and contracts. We have taken all necessary measures so that headquarters’ staff (managers, project managers, support staff,…) are able to go on working, mainly through teleworking.

We ask everybody to respect individual health and safety instructions, as well as recommendations provided by local Authorities. These measures taken by the governments will probably impact the smooth implementation of projects. Specific context of each project will be assessed by each AGRER’s Project Manager in charge, on a case-by-case basis.
This follow-up will be done and, when needed, appropriate actions will be taken in close cooperation with project’s counterparts, respecting contractual commitments, in view to limit possible impacts for all parties.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
All the best,

François Dugauquier, Director, Acting Managing Director
