Paper Prices
Dear Customer
Following recent communications in early April to notify you that we had been informed of further paper market price increases and despite our best efforts to mitigate price rises we are forced to increase prices across a limited number of paper products from 1st June 2010.
This situation is being caused by a combination of raw material shortage that is driving commodity prices up and also reduced manufacturer production.
We will keep you fully informed with regard to any additional changes that may apply. Advantage will continue to be committed to providing you with a competitive offer in the marketplace and will work hard to negate any further price increases and maintain continuity of supply.
