Dear all

First and foremost, I hope that you and your families are safe and well and I would like to thank you for your commitment, hard work and effort in 2021 to support the Depots and the Builders.

This year, above any other, we wanted to celebrate a very successful year and host our fantastic Christmas parties. We fully intended to have the parties as they mean so much to a lot of people, however, with significant rises in Covid, our number one priority is your safety, and we have a responsibility to protect the business by continuing to service our customers. 

It is with regret, therefore, that we have taken the decision NOT to proceed with our Christmas parties for 2021.

This decision has not been taken lightly. We must consider the risks presented to us by Covid, particularly as we approach Christmas and COVID cases remain high nationally. We feel that holding the events puts everyone at an unnecessary level of risk from ill health or isolation during the festive period.
