In a joint letter, Banner, David Luke, Falcon, Rowlinson Knitwear, Trutex and William Turner encourage their customers to share the information with schools if they’re directly impacted by delays to uniform orders. The schoolwear suppliers outline how the effects of the coronavirus pandemic are continuing to cause major shipping disruptions around the world. They also highlight the recent closure of the Suez Canal due to a blockage caused by the container ship Ever Given. The suppliers added that although they are doing their best “to control the parts of the chain that we can, the inevitable outcome is that some uniform deliveries may not meet the required delivery date”.
