An apology... Its no secret, i haven't been doing

An apology...

Its no secret, i haven't been doing all too great these last few months. I've fallen way to far behind on keeping on satisfactory dispatch times and keeping you, the customer, happy.

Covid has effected the entire world and i don't think a lot of people see that. Covid has put my business in a position i never wanted to be in and im struggling to get it under control.

Before the covid lock down hit the UK, I had managed to bring my outstanding orders list to under 10, which was an incredible feat for me. Finally caught up and orders were shipping within a couple of weeks, rather that a couple of months. Things were going great, the stress was low and i had been in high spirits.

Whilst my father did the prep work, packing, cleaning and so on.

Unfortunately, immediately into lockdown my father was no longer able to work 5 days and initially limited to just 1 day a week and now just late evenings and weekends. Leaving me once again to deal with ordering, prep, clean, fab, weld, packing etc. Back to being a stressed mess. It can easily take a couple of hours to clean and prep all materials for a typical exhaust manifold. a couple of hours to pack and invoice orders. Leaving some days with no fab or welding work at all. Long days, late finishes.

During Lockdown with most of you on Furlough, the amount of orders placed though the website tripled. At one poin
