Covid 19 Response - Alert level 2

During Covid Alert Level 2 all sections of our business will be open. 

We recognise people need a sensible, healthy and safe means of transport and we want to balance this with maintaining social distancing measures to avoid a relapse into level 3 or 4 lockdown. We will be limiting the number of people allowed in the store at any given time and we have a process for registering those who enter our store. The more we can do to help mitigate transmission now the sooner we can all return to hugs and high fives someday.

Here are some FAQ's to keep you up to date on how we are trading through alert level 2.
