Thank you for remembering the staff it effects . We are having a delivery tomorrow , so more stock arriving. Lawn mowers staying at 10% for now

I hope they're keeping you all informed so that you can make provisions and you know the time scale for when things are happening. Its such a shame that another big brand has gone under.

I hope you are being told whats going on before the public. I do know exactly how you feel and we found out what was going on from the press not the administrators. 2 years further on it seems like a different life. It probably feels really emotional now but there are different feelings to come later like shutting the doors for the last time, clearing the shop for the new owners, saying goodbye to friends/colleagues etc. You will need to be strong but there is life afterwards, it might not feel like it just yet though. If you need to talk feel free to message me.

Just to let all mse's in the torbay area that the focus on the newton road has 25% off lawnmowers. Just managed to buy the Champion 46cm self propelled model for £127. Which was the one i was after to replace my old mower.:)

it's not 25% off all lawnmowers though. Just that one as it's listed as a Manager's Special in store and on their everythingmustbesold.com website

All the other mowers are still 10% off nationally - I know 'cos I asked today
