I’ve been working in Felixstowe for 8 years and it feels like home so, when it comes to community I share the opinion of the majority in this town – we should help and support each other wherever we can and this has never been more relevant than now.
When the shopping list is made and the important things are weighed up I don’t think a printer is top of the agenda. Leaders is an estate and letting agents in Felixstowe – we are never going to change the world but we can at least help with the little things. We’re all local people and some of us have school-age children so we know the problems that home schooling presents. Not only are some people juggling working from home but they are attempting to home-school too and let’s face it, there’s clearly a reason teachers have to have a degree to do it! The last thing anyone should then worry about is, having managed to get the work done, “How am I going to actually print it?” It was just a thought that came about from a conversation in the office and it appears it wasn’t just us as all of the Leaders branches in Suffolk and beyond are now offering the same service.
It’s not just the parents either – we’ve had calls asking if we’ll print or scan from those that might normally use the facilities at the library.
We are happy to help – we’ll probably draw the line at someone wanting a copy of “War & Peace”, but so far it’s been just a few pages.
If you need us to print something for you then get in touch at either felixstowe@leaders.co.uk or Felixstowe.sales@leaders.co.uk and send a copy. We will then contact you and let you know when you can pick it up.
We’re operating under the same restrictions as everyone else and, although we’re in the office and open for business, we are strictly adhering to social distancing, so knock on the door and we’ll come out to you. We would obviously ask that you contact us by email first though.
We’re always looking at ways we can benefit the town so, if anyone has any ideas, we’d be happy to hear from you.
Keep well,
Carl Millis
