Electrical store is set to re-open its doors in Wisbech with new social distancing rules

Hughes Electrical is to reopen its Wisbech store but with shortened opening hours.

The shop on Market Place, which reopens for the first time since lockdown on Monday (3), is initially from 9am to 5.30pm three days a week; Monday, Friday and Saturday.

On entering customers will be required to wear a face mask/covering and to use hand gel; there will be social distancing markers on the floor, with all items on display being regularly sanitised.

Robert Hughes, chairman of the company said: “While our web, trade and rental divisions have all been operating throughout the pandemic it is a great boost to be able to start reopening our stores.

“We will be offering a delivery service, either to the doorstep or where necessary we will remove old equipment and instal new but maintaining strict hygiene and distancing protocols.

“If anyone is wary about visiting, they can telephone the store on 01945 589878 or use the website. We will also constantly review the opening hours for Wisbech.

“Throughout the COVID-19 crisis we have been proud to continue to support our local communities, including hospitals and I would like to thank all the staff at Hughes who, through their tremendous efforts and dedication have made this possible.”
