MANAGEMENT UPDATE

2020 is coming to an end and the team at TSG is getting ready for a break to celebrate the holiday season and to spend some time with friends and families.

On behalf of the entire team I would like to thank you for your continued support and loyalty, as well as for your patience and understanding as we were working through all the obstacles that this year threw at all of us.

December sales are looking very promising and it feels good to see our Victorian retailers in metropolitan Melbourne to bounce back strongly since restrictions were eased.

Today is our last Insider for 2020 – we will be back with weekly updates from 15th January. Any updates that might be relevant and urgent will be made available via POS messaging and on the website. January promotions will be on the website next week, so please monitor the promotions tab.

Wishing you and your families here in Australia and all over the world a safe festive season and a good start to the New Year.

To health & happiness!

Simon Ritte

General Manager

REBATES PAID

Rebates will be paid next week upon receiving outstanding funds.

IT SUPPORT OVER THE HOLIDAY PERIOD

IT support will continue to be available during the holiday period for urgent issues via the on call service.

Simply call the office number 03 8873 7900 and as the call will not be automatically answered it is important to leave a clear message so we can respond to you.

PREFERRED PARTNERS

Orders have now cut off for delivery prior to our holiday closure. All orders placed from mid-day Thursday (yesterday), will start to be shipped on Tuesday 19th January 2021.

STG closed taking orders for pre-Christmas delivery slightly earlier than expected due to their delivery partner DHL not being able to cope with delivery demands. Stores that ordered by Tuesday 15th should be dispatched by the TSG warehouse by Wednesday 23rd at the latest.

We thank all of our loyal stores for their continued support. It is YOUR support that allows us to grow this department into one that aims to service the 480+ TSG stores nationally.

TSG Preferred Partners and the TSG Online shop wish you all a very happy and safe holiday season.
