The January Oily Rag is out now – and we're open for business

A letter from Nigel R Bottom, Group Managing Director

Firstly, I would like to wish you a very Happy New Year.

In these difficult times I would like to personally give you a short update from Witham Group regarding the immediate situation around the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the new lock down we find ourselves in once again.

The health, safety, protection and welfare of our Witham Team is our top priority. At the same time, we are all pulling together and working smart and hard to ensure our business processes and thus the service and supply of our products to our customers continues at the highest level.

I want to reassure you that we are still fully open for business. All three of depots are operating with a ‘call & collect’ service where once your order is placed by telephone / email, you can collect from the relevant trade counter door. Our delivery service is also still operating as normal, where we are able to safely deliver products to you directly. In addition, of course, our teams are available to help with any technical or product advice over the telephone or online by email. 

As a primary industry manufacturer, Witham Group is committed to fulfil its role within the supply chain to ensure that our vital services throughout the UK continue and we are all available as normal, on email and telephone during our business hours Monday to Thursday – 7.00am to 5.00pm and Friday – 7.00am to 4.30pm.

Our sales executives can also be contacted on their mobile devices as per normal or through their own email addresses. Please do not hesitate to contact them direct or any of our depots for product ordering, technical help or delivery enquiries. Please remember also that to see all the products and services you can visit our website – www.withamgroup.co.uk.

In these lock-down conditions, to keep you up to date further, I am delighted to enclose the latest issue of our Witham Oily Rag magazine. As we celebrate our huge milestone of 100-years as a business, we are proud to bring you all our latest news, customer stories, new products,  technical updates and a “Little Drop of Witham History” all about where we started back in 1921.

I do hope that you will enjoy reading it and please give us your feedback and keep an eye out for our future issues later in the year. If you have a personal story about Witham Group which you would like to tell us about, or would like to share any of your own companies news, please do not hesitate to get in contact.

Please keep yourself, your colleagues, your family and friends safe and healthy and we look forward to working with you and supporting you in the coming year.

Yours sincerely,

Nigel R Bottom
Group Managing Director
