Customers may be aware from media coverage of global shortages of raw materials effecting all sectors of the economy.
These shortages have primarily been caused by the pandemic both directly, and indirectly through the knock-on effects to the shipping industry. Even where there is availability, prices are rising sharply as a result.
Flints have been warned by many of our suppliers of forthcoming price rises and potential interruptions to supply, and we wish to warn our customers in turn that we expect lead times and prices to increase, and advise customers to take this into account when planning for the re-opening of the theatre and live event industries in the summer.
