Contactum Limited is in Administration and has ceased trading

They were on a program about the recession with theo patheitis and were saying had full order books but banks cut them in half with lending-another thing the banks did to the country. Before that his father had run it and never borrowed a cent in 70 years.

probably going to be left with BG stuff only by the end of the year

And i hope this doesnt turn into a BDC thread....

I cannot believe another company going like this. I would say most of the accessories I fit are contactum they are one of a few left that manufacture in this country. Mk have not for quite a few years now I think BG import a fair bit of there stuff but I could be wrong about that and the finish quality is not as good. If they go it will be a sad day for British manufacturing.

kinda explains why they have ended.

There is a thread on IET about it - seems they have cash flow problems and the banks wont help them out

 

[Jono Pashley]

Arent the banks great get billions of tax payers money supposedly so they can help the british economy by lending money to companys than need it and they do naff all but pay people who should be in prison stupid pensions. Utter disgrace.

This Credit Crunch has shown that the banking industry is not the noble and trustworthy institution that we were brainwashed into believing .

 

[Andy™]

they would probably get a loan immediately if it was a foreigner wanting support.

gotta help everyone else before your your own country...

That's good News. If it can be confirmed.

 

[batty]

My main wholesaler said that it is true. If you look on there website its says it under construction and not in receivership. Good news I think.
