The Cheque Is In The Post - I Promise!

The postal system in the local area of our Head Office in Nantwich has been thrown into complete chaos. Atlas have had instances of both post sent to us and items that we have attempted to post either going completely missing or being seriously delayed. Local residents and businesses have made an avalanche of complaints to Royal Mail since they closed their Crewe sorting office as part of their £2bn investment in modernising their operations. Postal workers have admitted that they are close to breaking point. The Post Office are reviewing their delivery routes and hope to resume a normal service soon whilst promising that they are doing everything to minimise disruptions.

We ask our customers and suppliers to be patient with us during this period. Where possible as part of our green environmental policy we try to communicate electronically but where we have to rely on the postal system we hope you can appreciate that this matter is out of our control. If you fear that we may not have received something that you have sent please give Ruth Doe a call. Alternatively, 21st Century technology has proved itself more reliable than a 19th Century postal system and if you would like to talk to us about enabling your business to pay by BACS then don’t hesitate to give us a call!

You can read more about the disruption by reading the Crewe Chronicle’s news article.

Breaking News

Those of you who frequently receive emails from Joe Jardine may have noticed that his content has been brief and to the point over the last week. This is because he broke his right arm on Sunday and has it in a cast and sling. So how did he do it? He has been telling people in the office all sorts of stories including saving young children from a house fire, and my personal favourite; that it was the result of a tough negotiation, but the truth is he did it playing football. As you know you play football with your feet and he is not tall enough to be the goalkeeper! We have since discovered his injury was due to his over exuberance of trying to stop the ball crossing his team’s goal line; as we know Joe does not like to lose! Sympathetic colleagues have been heard saying "that this is what happens when old men try to play a young man's sport".


Joe is unable to drive for at least 6 weeks and cannot demonstrate solutions so we are in the process of re-assigning people to his scheduled meetings. Joe has more x-rays on Wednesday where we hope he'll be told that the radius bone is setting fine and will not require plates or surgery! In the meantime Joe is still in the office and is available to discuss your projects or any new requirements. Hopefully you'll join us in wishing him well/laughing at him incessantly.
