I am writing to inform you about recent significant price increases we have received from multiple suppliers. These increases have been triggered by ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the disruptions caused by blockades in the Strait of Hormuz, which have substantially impacted oil based materials, global shipping and fuel costs.
The surcharges applied by our suppliers have ranged between 5% and 18%, depending on the product and materials. Unfortunately, these additional costs have left us with no option but to pass on similar increases to maintain service levels and the quality of products we supply to you.
Due to the fluid and rapidly changing nature of these surcharges, we will not be applying a fixed percentage increase across the board at this time. Instead, the updated pricing will be reflected directly in our online portals and new quotations as they are issued.
We are actively monitoring the situation and will continue to work closely with our suppliers to minimise the impact wherever possible. Should the situation stabilise, we will review our pricing accordingly.
We truly value your continued partnership and appreciate your understanding during this challenging period. If you have any questions regarding your specific quotations or orders, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Regards
John Steadman
