Dear Valued Customer,
Ref: Price Increase 1st April 2025
As you may be aware, we have seen ongoing rising costs and continue to experience the effects of inflation. Whilst we have worked hard to mitigate these costs, by improving efficiency and offsetting rising costs in extraction and manufacturing, the cost pressure of legislation, planning and industry pressures across the supply chain means that we will continue to be directly impacted in all aspects of our business and cost base in 2025.
As a result of this ongoing cost pressure, we are writing to notify you of an increase to our range of products and services which will come into effect on 1st April 2025.
