Reflecting on a year that has been dominated by the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, Carl F Groupco has highlighted its commitment to on time in full deliveries and customer support.
Despite C-19, the hardware distributor says it has maintained its strong partnership relationships with leading manufacturers and has continued to add new lines to its catalogue of over 7,000 products. Additions to the company’s portfolio in 2020 have included Maco’s new MKV shootbolt featuring a slimline 21mm universal backset to cater for all eurogroove depths, enhanced cam design and reduced operating forces on handle movement.
Managing director, John Crittenden, commented: “I feel this has been the most difficult period experienced by the industry, primarily because of coronavirus but also because we have the shadow of Brexit hanging over us.
“However, the will of our staff and suppliers has meant we have faced the issues and pulled out all the stops to maintain supply. We pride ourselves in offering on time in full deliveries and this focus has never been more important than in these difficult times.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all Carl F Groupco staff representing us across the UK and pay special tribute to the people who have worked throughout this difficult period at both our Peterborough and Cumbernauld distribution centres. Additionally, it is important to mention our suppliers who have worked with us to maintain essential deliveries.”
Carl F Groupco adds that it is confident that any future challenges presented by 2021 will be met with the same ‘fortitude and positivity’ that has been shown by its staff and suppliers during the last 12 months. The company wishes all of its customers and suppliers a healthy and happy New Year.
