21 June 2022
Due to ongoing cost pressures, Bira Direct supplier Big K Products has announced a price increase from 4th July 2022.
In a letter to their business partners and customers, they have said:
Since our last communication earlier on in the year the international shipping crisis continues. We have seen considerable disruption and volatility in the supply chain combined with increasing costs. Shipping rates are still rising and the exchange rate loss of the £GBP vs $USD is also adding to the cost price pressures we are experiencing.
These are unprecedented times and I have certainly never experienced anything like this in my 25 years at Big K.
With regret, we have no option but to implement a mid-season price change with effect Friday 4th July 2022. Please refer to the price changes below:
- 12kg & 15kg Restaurant Charcoal Bags have increased.
- 3kg/5kg/10kg Charcoal bags have been adjusted slightly
- The instant Light Charcoal has been further impacted by high fuel costs as the charcoal is dipped in odourless kerosene which has increased significantly.
- Lighting Fluid FL02 has increased considerably as it is directly affected by the fuel crisis and escalating costs
May I take this opportunity to thank you for your continued business and we look forward to supporting your business needs throughout the year.
Yours sincerely,
Mike Theodorou, Sales Director
