Fellow Country Range Group member Thomas Ridley has implemented similar changes to its operations, according to ecommerce director Darren Osborn: “Our click & collect service is open to all, you do not need an account to order on our website. Choose the click & collect option at checkout to collect items from our warehouse in Suffolk or alternatively, we use a courier service for customers further afield.
“He continued: “We are experiencing a surge in demand, especially from non-trade customers; families, people who are self-isolating and anyone who is trying to get groceries. We have put more resource into our operations to help to meet this demand and ensure that we can continue to supply.”
