BGUK_2195207 - Teesside based business Snuggy, finally receive their £400,000 worth of luxury stock which was aboard the infamous ‘Ever Given’ ship which blocked the Suez Canal. Jack Griffiths, 26, was delighted this morning as the container pulled into his Teesside unit with 9,000 individual products stacked into a container load of boxes. “Its been a tough 9 months, since placing our biggest order to date and then hearing that our container was stuck on the ship that was blocking the Suez Canal was just our worst nightmare. Then we had another hurdle regarding a storage of HGV drivers so the haulage company couldn’t get anyone to deliver it. Thankfully after a long wait we can start getting stuck into the business again and start selling.” Jack set up Snuggy with business partners back in 2019 and the product became really popular after a stream of celebrities and reality TV stars endorsed their luxury loungewear products.
