We are open as usual and the new restrictions put in place will not affect our operations and we are pleased to welcome to you our Stores or to use our Delivery Services. Please note we are full COVID-19 compliant.

Our priority is you, our customers, and as such we have spent the last 6 months ensuring that our COVID-19 precautions are as robust and stringent as possible under the circumstances. Our aim is to ensure that all points of contact between customers and staff are fully protected.

The measures, which are compliant with the UK Government's current guidelines for a 'COVID-19 Secure Employer', have been specifically designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and reduce related risks across all areas of our business.

Below are listed the measures we are taking at the points of contact we have with customers:

When you visit our Stores you will be greetd with a one way flow for customers to take and hand sanitising stations will be offered for customers to clean their hands on their way into our Stores.

We respectfully ask that you queue keeping social distancing in mind (the 2m rules applies) and we will ensure extra space is available in walkways and between trees. Our staff will be COVID-19 trained and wearing face masks and on hand to help you.
