You will have read on the home page of our website that we are currently unable to supply some of our colours because we cannot source the raw materials needed to make these colours. We have this in common with many manufacturers at the moment as movement of goods around the world is disrupted by unexpected circumstances. In the last twelve months these have included COVID, the ship blocking the Suez canal and recently the war in Ukraine. We are limited in where we can source the materials we need and cannot influence the time it takes for supplies to reach us. It is very frustrating and we wish we could speed it all up to get back to normal.
It's particularly worrying as a few years ago we rarely had supply issues and goods travelled long distances across continents with minimal problems. Lead times were days not months and suppliers were reliable. All that has changed and now we have lead times of weeks if not months for certain products. We are very sorry if this leads to issues for customers and please understand we are doing all we can to make the full range of colours available to you .
