Don’t Let Supplier Closures Delay You
Many suppliers, wholesalers, and manufacturers shut down for Christmas and don’t reopen until well into January. Even if they’re open between the holidays, lead times are often longer, and stock availability can be hit or miss. Placing key orders before mid-December means you’re more likely to receive everything in time especially for bespoke or less common items.
Take Stock of What’s Running Low
Go through your van or site stock and identify the essentials that always run out at the worst time fixings, sealants, adhesives, batteries, connectors, clips, cable ties. Ordering a fresh supply now ensures you’re not spending your first week back chasing basics.
Think Ahead on Projects That Might Be Confirmed Last-Minute
Even if clients haven’t officially booked you in, it’s worth preparing for those jobs you know are coming. Pipe fittings, electrical consumables, plumbing accessories, tools these are the kinds of items that can disappear fast from shelves in January.
If you’ve got project plans or rough scopes, now’s the time to get materials sorted and ready, especially if you want a stress-free return to work.
