We have some very bad news to share with you. The Euro exchange rate has fallen so fast and so rapid with no sign of a recovery that our company accountant advised us that we will not be able to trade anymore after next Monday. It is a very very very sad day for us. We have been strong for many years winning many awards but the worlds problems and the very bad exchange rate with the Euro has meant that from Monday this week we were advised not to take anymore orders. We have been told to process any orders we have here now and send them out because from Monday, the company will be closed.


It is indeed extremely sad here, we all have very heavy hearts, especially at this time of the year..


I would like to thank you very much for your business and support, it has been my honour to help you, always enjoyable and I am extremely sad to have to say, the end is Monday.


My very best regards to your and your family. You have been great Frank.

My very best wishes for the future.
A VERY sad

i dont follow that description of why they feel they have to cease trading?

ok euro's crap exchange rate, but they pass it onto customers surely?
price rise.

not like there's going to be anyone else any better off on sourcing things from europe, which is where most OE parts come from anyhow.

seems odd to me.
unfortunate for them tho, they felt they had to cease trading.

Does'nt add up to me tho.

Does'nt add up to me tho.

Nor me but I suppose they're just trying to put a spin on things.

Worst time of the year for most businesses - 3 weeks of sales and 4 weeks of costs is never good if they've been tight for cash anyway.

Shame, though - I don't like to see anyone go out of business and there's going to be a lot of it in 2009.

Was passed on the details of them from a guy in Carlton
Are they good?
Do they just do second hand parts though?
