Wisbech – Anglia Components has announced that the company will be closing on Fridays from September 1st, 2025. However, the company will maintain the operational excellence and high standards of service that it is famed for, and the Anglia Live e-commerce platform – offering a 1-2 business day delivery service across the UK and EU will remain available 24/7/365.
Explains Steve Rawlins, Anglia’s CEO: “We reduced our Friday opening hours to a half day at the start of 2023 and have seen the hugely positive impact this has had on our staff. As a progressive employer we are now extending this to the full day closing with no changes to our colleagues’ holidays or existing benefits.”
The move supports the best and most innovative working practices that employers are implementing across industry, and is part of Anglia’s ESG strategy. Adds Rawlins: “By continued investment in our people and infrastructure, and by prioritising employee well-being we are better able to support our wide customer base across the UK and Europe.”
Anglia has always been renowned for the customer service it provides, to SME customers and multi-nationals alike. The Anglia Live e-commerce platform is always up to date with available stock and also offers tools and services, such as free samples and the loyalty program which provides 90 days’ credit and rewards up to £2500. Studies in the UK, Spain and Japan have all shown that moving to a four day working week can improve productivity, so Anglia believes that the customer experience – combining in-person and online engagement – will be even better as the four-day week rolls out.
