Opening Hours and Deliveries for Christmas and New Year

14^th November 2011

Christmas is nearly upon us and it is time to advise you of our Christmas opening hours, so you have plenty of time to plan your work ahead. This year Christmas Day falls on a Sunday. Our offices will therefore be closed on Friday 23rd December and re-open on Tuesday 3rd January 2012.

For deliveries, customers who normally receive goods on a Friday, can expect their delivery to be with them earlier on Thursday, though Despatch will be in touch with you nearer the time to confirm.

We recognise the need for our customers to try to get work cleared down and how bad the traffic can become in the days leading up to Christmas Day. Our aim is to get all long-distance deliveries completed and vehicles returned, by the end of Thursday 22nd December. We would ask you to bear this in mind when planning your week and ask you to stick to your order cut off times to try to make the whole process as stress free as possible.

On our return in January we plan to deliver to customers who regularly receive goods on a Monday, on Tuesday along with the regular Tuesday deliveries and aim to be back to normal on Wednesday. We will of course notify individual customers nearer the time if these plans have to be altered.
