Dear Customers & Suppliers,

It is with sincere regret and a heavy heart that we announce temporary closure of our manufacturing facility, kitchen showroom and offices commencing 24 March 2020. Although we take great pride in the amazing holiday homes we produce and supporting our customers businesses, we accept that at this crucial time it is essential we comply with HM Government directives in response to the coronavirus with immediate effect and we expect to resume production as soon as government restrictions are lifted. Many of the suppliers, holiday parks and transport companies that we work very closely with have already closed; resulting in interruption to the supply chain and naturally moving us to implement these measures.

We know this may cause some disappointment and apologise for any inconvenience. Our priority is to protect the NHS and the welfare of our employees and customers and with the latest guidance from the government, we must honour this and do everything we can to protect our community and to reduce the further spread of the virus.

For those customers who are due to take delivery of a new lodge or for those who are booked in for aftersales care over the course of the coming days or weeks, we will aim to complete your transaction with us as soon as government guidance allows us to do so safely. We are in the process of contacting you directly. All other existing orders are being held in abeyance and we will be in contact to re-arrange your expected delivery dates when our facilities are allowed to re-open fully.

Even though our factory and office doors have temporarily closed, various personnel will still be working to keep the business going in part and to support our customers, suppliers and our workforce in these difficult times. Therefore, the list below outlines the personnel and their roles during the temporary closure:

· Directors: all Directors we will be on call, monitoring phones and emails while working remotely;

·Accounts and Admin: the staff from these departments will be working remotely;

·We will have a skeleton crew at the factory to take deliveries and complete work in-line with PHE guidelines where possible;

·All other staff have been sent home temporarily as per HM Government directives after which we hope to be able to re-open our doors.

Although our facilities will be closed, you can also still visit our website and enquire online should you have any queries.

Our final thoughts are to you all in these unprecedented times. We at Aspire wish employees, customers and suppliers the very best and please stay healthy. Please continue to stay safe, take care of your families and together we will get through this.

Kind regards,

Richard, Esme, Helen and Symeon
