unfortunately I don't know of anyone that delivers in bulk here, It would be ideal if someone did.
They supply ours in bulk(Optispray) but are delivering to very top of Scotland so should go anywhere.

I paid Ā£440 more for 1000l yesterday than in August. That is one hell of a jump.
I don't even use much compared to most.
I'm not a big user either, 1000 litres at end of Feb was 76.5 ppl, last week was 111.5 ppl, so Ā£335 more for the 1000 litres. Trying to explain to our farmshop customers that this is the reason our prices are increasing but they don't quite get it.

Funny, they rang me this morning too, they have gone to Shyte. In all honesty itā€™s similar to sending your cattle to market or supplying direct to an abbatoir, certasā€™s end game is monopoly. Probably bether to pay few ppl more than deal with them.

Certas treat their workers and customers very badly.
They have a policy of zero tolerance to keep their insurance requirements to an absolute minimum and transfer as much cost as possible to the customer.
They are also buying as many small independents as possible to control the opposition.

They really are best avoided.
