Following the announcement by our Prime Minister last night and despite our preparation and best efforts, we are left with no alternative than to inform you that John Fredericks Plastics will temporarily close its site from 5pm today 24/03/20.

Whilst our staff have shown extreme resilience and flexibility with many working remotely, our responsibility for the welfare of our employees, customers and suppliers (many of whom have also announced temporary closures) has made it impossible to continue supplying product in the current situation.

We will be maintaining a skeleton HR staff throughout the temporary closure to deal with HMRC regarding government payments and job retention issues:

For any enquiries please contact: philip@jfpl.eu

For customer service: customerservice@jfpl.eu (due to all staff being furloughed, we are unable to read or action these requests until the furlough period has ended).

For payments please email hannah@jfpl.eu (Hannah is not furloughed and is working during the furloughed period).

We assure you that this decision has not been taken lightly, but due to the breakdown in our supply chain we have no other option. We shall keep you updated with developments as and when we have more clarity on the situation moving forward.

To ensure our valued customers are kept updated we have opened a separate tab in the ‘Client Support’ area of our website entitled ‘Coronvirus / Covid-19 Updates’. This can be accessed at www.johnfredericks.co.uk/client-support using your normal login password (please contact Customer Service should you not have it available). Please visit this on a regular basis for any updates.

Finally, we thank you for your understanding, wish you well and look forward to seeing you at the earliest possible opportunity.

Kindest regards,

Mark Dicconson
Managing Director
