Temporary Closure

In the interests of the safety of: our workforce, colleagues, customers and suppliers and to help support the UK Government plans to maintain a functioning health service; we have decided to close for normal operations.

The temporary closure commences on 25 March and our planned return will be on 14 April.

This means that the manufacturing plants and the associated workforce have been stood down.  However, key personnel will be available via their usual e-mail contacts to support critical business communications.

We appreciate that this is a very difficult time and we wish the very best to all who are associated with our business and their families.
