Dubai: The fleet of 300 bikes is new. The livery is new. And their motto – safe, fast and timely delivery. This is the Gulf News print distribution team, equipped and ready, post vaccination against COVID-19 to serve each and every subscriber with dedication and sincerity.
Abdul Hamid Ahmad, CEO, Editor-in-Chief and Executive Director Publications, Gulf News, said: “Speed to market is of essence when it comes to business. And we do emphasise that but to us, as an organisation, the safety of our people is paramount. Our people are our wealth. The Gulf News distribution team of 300 members, all riding Bajaj Avenger 220cc, are sporting new blue T-shirts, and transporting the newspapers in new branded bags, which are environmentally friendly.
Dubai: People working with mass media outlets may not be medical workers, but they too have to work on the frontlines in the fight against COVID-19. That is why getting this section of the society vaccinated is also crucial in the battle against the dreaded virus.
On Wednesday, at least 195
Gulf News employees editors, reporters, photographers, marketing and sales executives, human resources and circulation staff, print technicians and newsboys all rolled up their sleeves and took their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Medical staff from MediQ Healthcare LLC (a subsidiary of Tamouh Healthcare LLC), came to the
Gulf News headquarters to administer the vaccine. The vaccination was free and voluntary. Four stations, manned by skilled nurses, were set up for the inoculation while two other staff members took down employees’ information. A couple of more nurses were assigned to make a note of the vital parameters while other staff members provided details of the vaccine.
