Storeroom Staff Excellent
Had to wait 10 minutes to be dealt with despite there being no queue as the lone member of staff was sorting out his drivers. The storeroom guys however were excellent and very helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
I am saddened to see that you have had a poor experience with us due to having to the wait you experienced before being served.
I apologise greatly for these issues and for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

I visited the Helston Cornwall branch which had just closed except for the main gates, I was asked what I needed and as it was a smallish item Steve/Chris opened up without being asked and dealt with me no problem, cheerful and saved me a 12 mile return trip.
Excellent service but it always has been.
