Supplier Price Increases
We at Bradfords are constantly reviewing our prices to ensure we can offer our customers great value for money.
Unfortunately, whilst we negotiate with our suppliers to keep price increases to a minimum, there are some which are out of our control in the current climate and need to be passed on.
The information below is an overview of coming price increases and not an exhaustive list. For up-to-date pricing on specific products please check the relevant page on our website or contact your local branch.
