PRICE CHANGES

From time to time product prices fluctuate, up and down, and as a result we are keen to keep you up to date with all of these changes.

As I am sure you are aware, the current economic climate has led to a rise in costs across all aspects of our industry. Some of our manufacturers have therefore found it necessary to increase prices across some, or all, of their product ranges, price increases that we have also had to put in to effect.

These changes are listed on this page.

Please note all price increases are averages and average price increases across a range of products can vary from product to product. Price increases will be in effect from the date stated.

Should anyone require an electronic version of these price increases, or an up-to-date price list on any of our ranges, don’t hesitate to contact any of our sales team or your Sales Rep.
