A FARMING firm are 'delighted' to report they have returned to normal trading after an IT issue resulted in store closures last month.

Mole Valley Farmers and Mole County Stores reopened shortly after the incident but experienced technical issues for a few weeks afterwards.

Now, Mole Valley Farmers CEO, Jack Cordery, has said they are 'delighted' to report that trading is now back to normal. 

"I am delighted to report we have returned to normal trading and have restored our IT infrastructure, enabling us to continue servicing your needs through our stores, our feed, fuel and fertiliser businesses and online at moleonline.com," he said.

"None of this would have been possible without the hard work from the dedicated teams throughout the business.

"So many people have worked tirelessly to make sure the level of disruption was kept to a minimum and I want to thank them all. 

"I'd also like to thank you, our customers, for your understanding. As I talk to shareholders and customers, the overwhelming message has been of support and that means a lot to us all."
