Auditors been in doing their thing, staff got told last night.
A call to Newark confirmed (reluctantly) when asked if they'd still part exchange against new stock... was also told they were being bought out so all would be fine.
Asked one of the salesman and they are pretty peeved with the higher management and arrogant Directors, all staff been told to say nothing if asked except for "gone in to administration".

It's not receivership so I suppose there's a saving grace somewhere?

Hi

Before I add comment, I am researching the facts.

Yes best to check as it has been posted by a non member, no disrespect intended but this seems to be on the increase,where a person comes on and posts a topic and then dissapears again, and the facts could well be incorrect.

Absolutely, no disrespect or offence taken. It's a fact. Not stirring or causing deliberate distrust.

Hi

Yes there is something happening.

If you phone their branches, the phones are answered stating the name of a company I did not fully catch, or simply with the name of the person speaking.

One person I spoke to said the Brownhills name would be back in a few days. Another said it was Brownhills up to last night.

What ever happens, all will no doubt be revealed in due course.

Just spoke to Hymer NorthWest. They have indeed gone into Administration.

There is a mangement buyout but they will be back as Brownhills in name soon.

I'm believable, hooray!

Feel sorry for the staff... for all the errors made, it's a horrible place to be.
