£3600 for The Evolution, is a hard sell. I don't think many will be knocking the door down to buy. The design looks tired, as does the Rotovac, the carpet cleaning industry has moved on.Is that were it went wrong for Robert Saunders. First and foremost sell the machines that sell the marketing, that sells the chemicals and the spares. Many sleek high performing machines have come to market, and if you don't move with the times, then people will shop elsewhere
Forgot about Steve, whatever happened to him? It was always Steve who was happy to help me out even on a Saturday whilst I had a Cleancare machine that ate vac motors, when the pro plus came out I got one more or less straight away. Used Ultimate Master a lot then too. Then of course there was that monster quad vac, not sure if anyone ever brought one of those, wonder what the CFM/lift was on that? All that aside I do wish Chris all the best.
Only in the UK do we knock some who goes bust in the states it a case of, we'll these things happen, what you doing next as you have it in you to make a success of things. So good luck to the fella I remember him starting out when I was I my first few years of this game and they brought a new face and new ideas.And for the doubters probably not his problem few big bills, and a couple of none paying customers that owe money and bump there she goes. Let face it you pay all the staff and there's nothing left in the account, no money coming in and the vat man would like £30k, what do you do put your hand in your own pocket to bail out the business that might be in the same position next time around or fold it and walk away. If there wasn't that option you see lots more business owners jumping off bridges.
Hi GuysI suppose it says something of our industry that both Solutions and latterly Alltec have gone into liquidation and then risen, 'phoenix from the ashes'!The limited liability laws allow for companies to go bust and then be instantly ressurected with the shareholders/creditors being the losers.On another thread I was mentioning that Yell/Hibu is about to do the same but it will not affect us as customers as the products, i.e YP and Yell will be sold on as going concerns.I also mentioned that we need to support our suppliers and maybe not moan because we could get part xyz, £2 cheaper on ebay, support or lose.CheersDoug
