Over the past 18 months, we’ve been building and investing in a major upgrade to our core business systems. This new technology platform will allow us to deliver more capable and efficient services for you. We are now in the final stretch, and we’re excited to go live in the New Year.
To make the switch as seamless as possible, there will be a short period over Christmas where some services are limited. From Saturday 20th December to Sunday 4th January, our Portal will be unavailable while we move to the new system. You’ll still be able to place orders by phone, and all pending orders will be dispatched as soon as we’re fully back up and running in the New Year.
To avoid any problems, we suggest placing orders before 20th December to see you through to the New Year. Our Customer Support team will be available throughout the festive period (excluding Bank Holidays) to take orders, answer questions, and help however they can. And if something urgent comes up during this window, please give us a call — we’ll always do our best to assist.
As with any major systems launch, we’ve worked hard to make the transition smooth — but there may be a few early teething issues. We really appreciate your support while we complete this upgrade, and we can’t wait to bring you a smoother, more capable experience in the months and years ahead.

Is there anything else I should be aware of?
