#SupportLocal #Support Swad Going the Extra Mile
Doing business in a pandemic has and continues to challenge every business owner. Despite this, many are going the extra mile to help customers, many of whom are also going through extremely challenging times. This month we share some stories that deserve a little recognition.
Forever Mobility: When Mr Smith (not his real name) was due to be released from hospital with COVID symptoms, he needed a comfortable chair to rest in. Within 24 hours, his daughter was able to arrange it all by phone with Lee Sherratt at Forever Mobility. The chair was delivered before Mr Smith’s return home in the colour of his choice and the instruction on how to adjust the chair to suit Mr Smith’s needs
was delivered by WhatsApp.
The Balaeric Eye: Owner Richard Sewell and his team have offered help through lockdown to any vulnerable person or parent at home with no support or who is self isolating or just struggling to find extra meals. Their delivery drivers can collect and deliver any thing that is needed if you are shielding and have no alternatives.
Nisa Local & Post Office on The Delph: Celebrating their first anniversary this month, Sukh Johal and his team have contin- ued throughout each lockdown to offer a home delivery service for anyone shielding or self-isolating.
