Covid 19


March, 20, 2020

As of 20.00 hours on Friday 20th March 2020 no one at PPP has shown any signes of contracting coronavirus, HOWEVER, we are well aware that it could strike anyone of us without warning.

It is our intention to continue working and sending out orders either until this epidemic is over or the government forces us to stop working.

With more people staying at home and all shows cancelled until at least August, it has become clear over the last week that demand has risen at an unprecededed rate.
As such we are likely to have more and more 'stock issues' as items go out of stock before we have the chance to restock as part of normal production.

We have therefore taken the decision not to prioritise any orders and to Pick, Pack and Dispatch in the order that they placed - ie. a first come first served basis.

It should also be noted that during these difficult time the delivery services and couriers are under increased pressure and ALL deliveries may take longer from dispatch to delivery.
We are also recommending that, wherever possible you use one of the signed for services to ensure that they have to hand the package to you.

We will update this page as we have more information or if we have to stop working for any reason, we will also attempt to update the office answerphone, however, if we have to isolate or quarantine ourselves it is likely that we will not be able to change the message.

We would like to pass our best wishes to all our customers and hope to see as many as possible after this crisis is over.
