Covid Policy
During the pandemic, we have had to adapt our services to keep our customers, staff and their families safe. This includes making some adjustments to our delivery protocol. Therefore, at this time, and until restrictions are fully lifted, we won’t be asking our drivers to enter your building to put goods away as we would normally do. The decision to enter the premises is now at our drivers discretion. If it is raining, rest assured the goods will be left in the entrance to your premises, to avoid any damage to your items.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. We are confident that we will be returning to our normal full delivery service once restrictions are fully lifted and we can guarantee the safety of our staff, customers and their families.
