Wired - Editorial With Jon Herbert

The big news for this issue is our move to larger premises. After 7 years in London Colney we are moving a few miles up the road to a bigger single unit in St. Albans. In true corporate speak ‘we’re all really excited about it’.

The aim of the move is to give us better office accommodation and storage. At 52,000 sq. ft. it’s over 17,000 sq. ft. bigger than our present units and all situated in one high eaves warehouse. This allows for considerable more stock holding. This should work through over the next year or two to an even wider product range and larger stocks for next delivery.

We’ve included a sticker with the new details which fits the address panel on the back of the catalogue, although please feel free to stick it anywhere you fancy! Just so long as you have the number handy.

The move went relatively smoothly with everyone lending a hand and doing their bit. A big thanks to the many customers who accepted a 2-3 day delivery service – it allowed us to get straight and resume next-day delivery by Thursday following the weekend move.

Our biggest headache was BT failing to put on a change of number announcement until Wednesday morning, in part because the person at BT who dealt with that decided to have a few days off.

Who said people don’t matter!

Regards,
