Any good acrylic sheet suppliers? (UK)

I've transferred my design onto 5mm perspex now. I did increase the hole sizes by 1cm as I found some grommets on amazon which would work well. I will maybe have to cut the length (12mm) since the lid is 5mm thick.

Just picked up 16x 8mm lid clips off Amazon today, which I'm going to use as the brace for the new lid. I just ordered the lid as well £38 was the final price, as I went for 5mm and changed the smaller cutout to a triangle rather than a square. As its only purpose is to allow the heater cable to go behind the tank. The lid clips are also a tad higher than my old ones, so the lid may actually be level with the glass rim. I did consider splitting the lid design into two parts to avoid bending, but the cost went up over my budget. I could see about cutting it myself, as I do have access to a table saw and circular saw, but I will see how this design holds up first.

Are there places like this in the US? Lids are expensive- would be great to just get a sheet of acrylic cut...

Interestingly my order is coming from the Netherlands. I wonder if the site I used is a sister company, either way I’m just hoping it doesn’t get damaged in transit

New lid arrived today. Really good quality and no damage. The grommets fitted perfectly into the holes, and the clips are managing to keep it somewhat level. I have a single clip at the back, so the bowing is only at the front. Thanks @seangee for the site recommendation, I'm really happy with it
