    Big Public company shafting small supplier.

    I would have to agree. We have been trading since 2007 and this is the first time this happened to us so I guess we have been lucky. Most of our customers are small to medium sized businesses and we also sell to Schools, Local Auth and the NHS at times. so our customer base is diverse which has...

    Big Public company shafting small supplier.

    Looked at the property a while ago to lease it through an agent but got pipped by another company. Current tenant was not paying rent after a year of being there and going for a free ride. They agreed to surrender the lease after some pushing. Current landlord was 82yrs old with no family...

    Nah their contibution to sales is less than 1% of what we do so no worries there thank goodness - it was just a principle/moral thing.

    Its gonna be tough I think for most of us.. Especially I think around next Feb/Mar when its coming to the end of the financial year. We are a little better off than some here in that we own the building we are based in so no landlord. We got burnt in the past as decided to go down this route...

    Big Public company shafting small supplier.

    Yeah I know what you mean. I will be checking much more carefully in the future. The way that I am looking at it is that overall, during the time that we supplied them we are better off to have supplied them than if we hadn't. We did not make a loss over all. The situation doesn't cause us and...

    It wasn't the fact that they decided not to order from us, just that they lied when saying everything was fine and after we asked them "should we import the next load" they said yes!! We have this on email.

    Thanks - we would have thought of that. I probably didn't give enough info. Our products are consumables for printers and not everybody has the same equipment that they fit. Thanks though :)

    This is a case of the big guy S**tting on the little guy. It is a bit of a Saga.. Read on if you dare :-) For a couple of years we supplied goods to a very large PLC Courier company. All went well even during the Pandemic. After the pandemic had ended we started to notice a drop off in the...

    Who can and who can't remain open.

    That's exactly what we are now doing now, along with another printers in the town - I got a "thank goodness for that" (not on those exact words) from a local builder who needed some plans for his sparky, just now.

    Who can and who can't remain open.

    I have just managed to get clarification as to opening etc. The store itself has to close, people can still come and collect completed jobs when they go out to do shopping etc, they are just not allowed into the store. It is advised that where possible peoples orders and goods would be shipped...

    Who can and who can't remain open.

    Fislcx - are you talking from a position of authority or is this your opinion? :-) I can't find anybody in Gov or Council to answer this question.

    Who can and who can't remain open.

    It would seem that the advice given yesterday was not entirely clear - I have a retail store and for all intents and purposes have to close (which I have!) on looking at the documents provided by the Gov Email service this morning it gives a list of retail stores that can remain open.. I list...

    Screwed Over by Network Rail new lease

    Hi, I did speak to Amey and thay basically said "take it or leave it" apparently Network rail have been "uncommercial with their rents" and they are "trying to get better value for money for the tax payer". This is all well and good, but this property was empty for quite a number of years...

    Screwed Over by Network Rail new lease

    We are not a railway arch - we are a stand alone building about 300 yards from a rail station, problem is that the building, as with most of Network Rails infrastructure is really old -I am just getting clarification as to the terms of the clause for "repairing" as in MHO repairing does not mean...
