Evacuation

Tue, 08 May 2012 18:47:36 +0000

We would like to apologise to all our customers for any interruption of service but we were evacuated from our unit at approx 2pm today. We are still not sure if we can get back in tomorrow morning as it was a gas canister fire and there is a 24 hr cool down period before they are safe. Will update you tomorrow. Any parcels that were due to go out today will go out as soon as we can get back in. Hopefully it will only mean a 24hr delay in delivery. If you have any queries please email Paul@boxeandbusts.co.uk We are accessing a limited amount of facilities remotely from home.

Hi Everybody

The sun is shining today in Barry as we all get back to normal today after the Easter holidays. Long may it continue and with summer just around the corner let’s just hope we have a fruitful tourist season this year.

Here at Boxes & Busts we are still full to the brim with jewellery making components as we stocked up so much for the Fiesta.

Look out also over the next weeks for a return of a popular box range and lots of additions to the acrylic range.

Don’t forget if you have any comments or any suggestions for lines you would like us to stock please just drop us an email on online@boxesandbusts.co.uk

I hope you all have a good day.

Kind regards

Louise
