New Connections and Personnel Protection

Posted by Admin

Now more than ever, essential businesses are faced with new challenges and standards. Safeguarding employees and customers has become a priority and adhering to safe distance requirements, a necessity.

Recently, Behlmann Buick, in Troy Missouri, had a requirement for a personnel protection divider for their dealership's cashier area. After seeing a LinkedIn post about a similar project we had completed, Michael Bentz, with Behlmann Buick, contacted John Henry Foster, requesting a quote.

With available inventory, a custom drawing of their application and an approved quote for the design, JHF was able to complete Behlmann Buick's structure in less than 2 business days.

Mr. Bentz shared his experience and some pictures of their new installation on LinkedIn and with the team who helped him, here at John Henry Foster, "Huge Shoutout & applause to #JohnHenryFoster here in St. Louis, Missouri, for their recent job completion of this partition/sneeze guard for our Cashier Office. We ordered this on Friday & they called us to pick it up this morning! #sneezeguard #linkedin #linkedincommunity #linkedinconnections. He continued with, "Story behind the story- We saw their recent post on Linked In about them doing the same thing for another business. This is to alleviate exposure from #covid19 and #socialdistancing in life as we conducted business here #behlmanncdjr"

We appreciate Behlmann Buick's business and we applaud them for prioritizing the safety of their customers and employees.
