Needless to say, this lockdown has affected businesses up and down the country and we’ve been keeping in touch with as many of our stockists as we can to see how everyone is getting on. From cafes to delis, restaurants to B&Bs, these have been strange times for so many businesses. While some have had to make the difficult decision to temporarily close, we’ve been amazed and uplifted by some examples of creativity, imagination and tenacity from some stockists who have taken on new measures to see how they are getting through the current unsettling times. Here's some info about what just some of them are up to...
