Bank Holiday Procedure - 2023

Bank Holiday Operational Calendar 2023

We’re quite lucky for 2023, because we get an extra bank holiday due to the coronation of His Majesty the King! Fortunately that means throughout the year we get 9 bank holidays. Though unfortunately, it means there will be some disruptions to your fruit delivery service. At Bobtail Fruit, we believe in Company-Client transparency, so we’re going to try to provide as much clarity, as early as possible. In this post, you’ll find out the operation for Bank Holidays for the entire year, and how it may affect you.

The bank holidays this year are as follows:

Friday 7^th April – Good Friday

Deliveries due on this Friday will instead be carried out the day before (Thursday 6^th April)

Monday 10^th April – Easter Monday

Deliveries due on this Monday will instead be carried out the day after (Tuesday 11^th April)

Monday 1^st May – Early May Bank Holiday

Deliveries due on this Monday will instead be carried out the day after (Tuesday 2^nd May)

Monday 8^th May – Bank Holiday for the coronation of King Charles III

Deliveries due on this Monday will instead be carried out the day after (Tuesday 9^th May)

Monday 29th May – Spring Bank Holiday

Deliveries due on this Monday will instead be carried out the day after (Tuesday 30^th May)

Monday 28^th August – Summer Bank Holiday

Deliveries due on this Monday will instead be carried out the day after (Tuesday 29^th August)

Christmas Holiday (Week Commencing 25^th Monday)

For this week, deliveries are halted, and will resume as normal on Tuesday 2^nd January 2024.

In Summary

All Monday Bank Holidays will have their deliveries carried out on the next day instead. However, if you also have a standing order due on Tuesday, then your Monday order will be cancelled entirely.

This is just the default procedure that will occur during these weeks. Of course if you have any special requests you would like put in place instead, just drop us an email or give us a call and we’ll be more than happy to help!
