A SMALL DELIVERY DELAY

A Small Delivery Delay This Monday… and We Hope You'll Understand!

First of all, we're sorry.

If you've placed an order with Scobies Direct over the next few days, you may notice that delivery times are running one day later than usual.

Why?

Well... Scotland have qualified for the World Cup.

Now, before our customers south of the border, across the Irish Sea, or elsewhere around the world start rolling their eyes, hear us out. It's not exactly something that happens every week! It has been 28 years since Scotland managed to play at a World Cup...

As a proudly Scottish company, we're taking the opportunity to close our head office and warehouse on Monday so our team can enjoy what is a genuinely historic occasion for Scottish football supporters.

This means any orders placed over the weekend or on Monday will be processed on the next working day, resulting in a small delay of approximately one extra day to normal delivery times.

We know delays are never ideal, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. However, we're hoping you'll forgive us this one.

After all, when your national team finally makes it back onto football's biggest stage after years of waiting, it's hard not to get a little excited.

Normal service will resume immediately afterwards, and our team will be back in the warehouse, hopefully celebrating a famous Scottish victory rather than discussing what might have been!

Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your continued support.

From everyone at Scobies Direct – enjoy the football, wherever you're watching it.

Wear It Green Day 2026

Wear It Green Day

What a fantastic day we’ve had taking part in Wear It Green Day in support of Mental Health Awareness Week. 💚

Today was a great opportunity for everyone across the business to come together, wear a splash of green, raise awareness, and encourage positive conversations around mental health.

From our raffle and bake sale to the amazing support and generosity shown throughout the day, we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who got involved, donated prizes, baked treats, bought tickets, and helped make the day such a success.

Mental health awareness is something that matters every day, and it’s great to see colleagues supporting one another and helping create an open and positive workplace culture.

Big thanks to organisers Angela Hughes, AnnMarie Murphy and Jennifer Bonnar... plus a thank you to all of our amazing bakers for all their delicious creations!
