They seem to be racking up a few ccj's which is not a good sign..

Spoke to Mr Ahmed today and he says the company is not for sale, far from it:

Make of that what you will...

Interesting news, the treatment of the staff, lack of payments and track record don't yet seem to support this, so Jury's out I think!

Someone very close referred to the situation as a mess and I suspect the plan is indeed a going to be a very underhand phoenix job. I.e. they bust the business and absolve themselves of the staff, lease etc - having purchased on favourable terms to ensure those aspects. Will anyone do business with this man has to be the question... :ambivalence:

What advantage would he gain in moving nearer the coast - you don't even need an escort to move a 29 footer?

Where's he going to get the cash for new model design and the "more advanced unit (factory)"?

Why not continue making boats (and paying staff) whilst making plans for the above?

Sorry, but he appears to be (a) deluded / Walter Mitty or (b) lying.

I sincerely hope I'm proven wrong.

Interesting what he says about the 'new and improved' models. The older ones were and are pretty good. I also am sceptical but lets hope something good comes from this.

I also wonder if he is planning to support existing Fletcher with spares sales and general help etc ???
