We are sad to say that one of our primary suppliers, R J Trevarthen Ltd, have decided to put a hold on shipping their products to Scilly. As suppliers of top-quality Cornish meat, who worked closely with us to meet our customers’ needs, it’s a great loss.
The reason for their decision is the ever-growing difficulty they have in shipping products to Scilly using services provided by the Steamship Company. In recent years, and especially over recent months, we have been amazed by the lengths to which all suppliers have gone to continue supplying Scilly, so whilst this came as a big shock, it’s not surprising.
Please be assured that, at St Martin’s Stores, we will do our best to source alternative supplies of a similar quality for visitors and residents alike.
We have to record a big thank you to Trevarthens. As a supplier they couldn’t have done a better job for us and it was a pleasure working with them. Whilst based in Cornwall they worked hard for the islands, the businesses they supplied and in turn the residents and visitors who loved their products.
