Re: Closure Due To Pandemic
We didn't open either of our shops today and have furloughed all our staff, at least that way they will get guaranteed 80% of there wages for the next 3 months.
Orders are coming in on line and now there's only me to do it!

Take care everyone, see you on the otherside

Re: Closure Due To Pandemic
I'm pretty much business as usual. I haven't operated on a 'walk-in' basis for a few years. I have a good few weeks
work on the books so I can concentrate on getting caught up. After that I've a list of domestic jobs that I have been
itching to do for ages.

Re: Closure Due To Pandemic
this is one for framerpicture
we have closed one site and are still working in the manufacturing site for now but not open to the public
"We didn't open either of our shops today and have furloughed all our staff, at least that way they will get guaranteed 80% of there wages for the next 3 months."
can you expand on that/give us a bit more information
I have staff here who are obviously nervous and are asking about this
would appreciate it

Re: Closure Due To Pandemic
I've taken a few good orders in the last week or so but I only have so much stock and with the closure of some of the main suppliers it's getting harder to satisfy orders. Fortunately as of today Lion is still going.
I've got about 3 weeks work on and a few quotes open for mouldings I have in stock so I'm good for about 3-4 weeks of slow paced work.

Re: Closure Due To Pandemic
One good thing......
The sun is shining and the wind has abated. First time this year the temp in my outdoor (unheated) workshop was the
same as indoors. So as well as sawing moulding I have been up a ladder cutting my hedge.
I hear it's going to be cold very soon though.
