Baker & Taylor ready to support your needs at short notice

Baker & Taylor, the wholesaler of book ranges for garden centres, hopes the staff and their families of all their customers have remained safe in the midst of this crisis.

 

Annette Burgess, Managing Director, told GTN Xtra: "It feels like all businesses will have staff who have been through difficulties in respect of this virus. We hope the impact on you and your colleagues has been minimal. Like us, we are sure you have as many positive stories of members of staffs families being hero's as key workers as well as many voluntary contributions to the national cause from your own staff.

 

"We would like to provide you a trading update on the arrangements we have in place to support you and your business as it considers re-opening. We temporarily closed the Bicester facility when restrictions were increased on the 23rd March.

 

"Since then we have re-laid the facility and introduced new procedures to enable safe working conditions to be able to supply to the very few of our customers who were able to remain open and have operated with a small but perfectly formed team supported by a number of colleagues working from home. We have taken further steps to increase capacity in the safest of conditions and are delighted to be able to let you know that we are ready to support your needs at short notice.

 

"We appreciate that you will have many considerations having re-opened and that books and gift stationary will not be your highest priority. We just want to let you know we are here and are ready. Please contact me at your convenience and let me know your plans and we can design a package of supply that suits you.

 

"Thank you for the support you have given to B&T during these unpresented times.  We are coming back stronger and prepared for the new world of business ahead of us."
