As you know in June of this year we reduced many of our prices to reflect currency gains during the first part of the year.

I am sorry to advise you that due to unprecedented increases in the cost of raw materials, resulting in our suppliers increasing their prices and major currency fluctuations it is now necessary for us to pass on some of these increases effective 27th October 2008.

We have looked at every possible way to minimise the impact of these increases and seek your understanding.

These are especially challenging times, we are there to assist if you are especially disadvantaged (because of an outstanding quotation) by these new prices. Please do not hesitate to contact me or our area managers and we will do everything we can to assist.
