Globelink Uniexco – Barcelona office was evacuated!

On 13 Feb 2008, a forklift collided against a sustaining pillar in an adjacent warehouse that shared a common wall with GL Barcelona office. After safety inspection by a team of engineers and firemen, our Spanish colleagues have been asked to evacuate the office premise as there was a calculated risk that the roof might collapse.

In the interim, to minimize the operation downtime, their IT team has reinstalled their communication and computer system. Hence GL Uniexco – Spain was operational, but working with limitations since all operation files and documents remained in the office and the authorities blocked off the area; strictly no admission back to office to retrieve the documents due to safety reasons

Finally after 3 weeks, GL Uniexco has been authorized to re-occupy the office premise and resume full operations. We would like to thank you for your patience and support during these 3 weeks.
