The normal schedule will not operate during this period. There will be fewer services with movements to all ports being subject to demand. It is important to Sadleirs that we give as many of our employees leave to be with their families over this time. As a result, staff levels in all depots will also be reduced from normal during this time.
We would like to thank you for your great support during 2019 and we wish you and your staff the very best for the festive season and in 2020.
David Cox
Chief Operating Officer
