As the Coronavirus continues to sweep across the globe – there’s no doubt that it’s having an impact on every single one of us, whether we’re on the ‘front-line’ or not. Affecting businesses of all sizes, families, communities and Countries, it can all be a little overwhelming…
We recognise that for farmers, life must go on – in some respects, with a degree of normality! Animals to feed, cows to milk – and the Nation to feed. In other ways, the changing landscape is taking its toll – non-collections from milk buyers, additional financial pressures, and all-round uncertainties around veterinary issues.
As we continue to work hard to service our loyal customers, as well as many new ones- we are doing our best to offer our support – until we make it out the other end of this pandemic.
Whilst it’s not likely to be a short journey, we’ve been bowled over by the understanding of our customers over the recent weeks as we’ve been inundated with orders, and as our lead times have grown somewhat. We’re pleased to continue to manufacture, and are working hard to keep up with the demand despite the challenges.
