There - in that place. Their - belonging to them. They're - they are. Whinge over...
End of an era for me. I was there when George Land and Gerry Goldberg first appeared at Luton Club with some Novak servos and Parma Stock motors. I think Helger was derived from Helen and Gerry - I think Helen was Gerry's partner at the time.
They built it up from nothing to one of the UK's premier model distributors, and along the way acquired the talents of Richard and Jackie Delves after Gerry left for the US. Then came the sale to Horizon, the major expansion and now this.
I raced with George and for George as a sponsored driver. We enjoyed many seasons on the On-Raod and Off-Road National circuits, and many more meals and drinks during those events! The ride up to Washington for a National through the teeth of a gale and a storm that made staying in one line a test of skill is a particular highlight!
End of an era really. Best of luck to those who may be affected by closing the UK warehouse, and sorry it has to end this way for you.
