Likening the current world situation due to COVID-19 as a drought on the African Savannah, Bench has a positive message that “the rains will come”, and this too will pass.
The Bench team remains in good spirits, working from home since Tuesday, and reassuring agents that they are just a phone call or an email away.
Over 51 years in the industry, Bench says they have weathered many a storm and are no stranger to challenges.
“Our priority is always to safeguard the health of our customers, team members and partners and we will emerge even stronger once the calm returns.
“The Bench family sends our love and thoughts to all of those affected. We are deeply saddened by the unavoidable disruption to our clients’ travel plans but despite the disappointment, we know that when normality returns your time in Africa will be more meaningful than ever.”
Travellers and agents are urged to keep an eye on the Bench social media for a little isolation escapism.
