PHONE & COLLECT

If you plan to collect goods from our shop, why not phone up and have the order ready to pick up when you arrive?

NETSUITE

We upgraded our computer systems in 2020 to Oracle's Netsuite ERP system, which gives us huge flexibility and reporting options. If you would like to know more about Astleys computer upgrade and how we've been using computers since 1972 click here. 

 

PRODUCT PRICING

One of the biggest issues affecting everyone at the moment is the massive inflation of product price. There is hardly an area not affected by energy costs; from raw-material production, manufacturing, all the way through to shipping and final delivery.

Astleys has done everything possible to mitigate increases, but the enormity of some of these has meant that we have been forced to pass on supplier price increases.

But, we may be able to offer a solution! Talk to us about alternatives that may be able to save you money, we have many products that can provide cost-in-use reductions. For instance, we prioritise concentrated cleaning chemicals through dilution control which can provide equal, if not superior performance for a fraction of the cost. These concentrates often provide a more environmentally-friendly solution, too.

Let us know how we can help.

Depending on where you are, deliveries will be made on our own vans or via our third-party logistics partners, who we've worked with for many years.
