As I have mentioned before Rhian is away this weekend (Girls Holiday) so anybody calling our office to order or enquire about our Fireplaces and Stoves will get me until Monday sorry about that but somebody has to answer the phone and do the paperwork.
Tuesday and Wednesday it seems i have done nothing except wrap up and label Fireplaces for all our deliveries for Friday and Sunday. Its ok wrapping and inspecting them when loading the vans for any delivery but when you have three delivery runs planned it seems to have taken ages to wrap up and label.
They are all regimented now in various rows all with customers names on them ready to be loaded on our vans and be delivered to there new owners. After organizing these into the three separate runs I felt like a proper warehouse store man.
I have been back in the office all day today and you forget how often the phone rings with people asking questions and the noise of a new email arriving I suppose I take it for granted my lovely wife answering all these calls and replying to emails as I only get the technical ones which she is not sure about and let me tell you there’s not much Rhian doesn’t know. If we ever divorced I would be lost without her.
I had the strangest phone call this morning from asking me whether we supplied embossed fireplace tiles on there own as he wanted it for a tile trivet to put his kettle on now this is something I am not used to hearing, any queries about fireplaces or stoves yes. Luckily for Mr Jenkinson I know what a tile trivet is as I used to be a director and part owner of large Architectural and Home Centre in Belper Derbyshire so after a few measurements from him he now has the very tile he wanted (from a damaged set we have in stock) on his way to him with enough bubble wrap to keep Royal Mail from breaking it.
So the moral of the story is don’t worry what ever you want to ask us even if you think its an odd question we probably will have been asked it before and I am sure we can find an answer for you without having to text the men with moustaches
See You Soon Mark
