Very helpful in Branch, other areas unclear. Very slow from depot to Branch, but other deliveries/carriers were OK despite holiday breaks. It seemed to get stuck in Newark, no reason given.

On my last order at my request the cable was spooled onto a substantial drum for easy installation. One item was out of stock so I ordered it online and it came the next working day

Liam from Louth branch very helpful always delivers.

Reply from CEF - LTH
I was initially served by Liam, where he explained everything I needed to know about the cable I wanted.
I then made an order online, and it was delivered on time. Well done to all.

Thank you.
