SMD is a small family run business (there are 3 of us) and yes we do distribute other brands, however how many companies do you know in this day and age that can loose roughly a third, give or take a bit of their turnover at the drop of a hat and not be affected?
SMD will recover from this, our concern is that there Won't be a job for all of us, at least in the short term as being given 2 weeks to find, negotiate, import and pay for a new line just ain't going to happen. (2 MONTHS notice would have been a whole different matter)
Interesting times are ahead for our little company...........watch this space |
Dean I didn't mean is the brand success on the track I meant in the bank, as in is it worth while for team c? Also I said I read what was written so you do know more than what was written. And the speculation I was talking about was it being the end of team c rather than smd not distributing which is confirmed. This is a public forum remember shouldn't jump on people when they don't share your prospective.
John,
Thanks for explaining this, is harsh to not give you notice to plan and prepare for this. Wish you all the best and a merry Christmas.
