Sportsitalia…the end

[conaero]

There are many lovely comments that I read and it means a lot.

Lots of phone calls from stunned members and suppliers.

Tracy, I may pop along and see you and thanks Ewan, it’s a kind offer but alas too far. I have had a couple of members offer a large amount of cash to become silent partners too which is confidence building.

Let’s see where we are as I start to heal

What shocking news. Sometimes life just isn’t fair. Maybe a good time to take time for yourself and family and have a really good think about your next venture. As Mrs. Simon1963 often says “ these things happen for a reason” I’m sure you’ll come out of it bigger and better. All the best for the future.

No surprise that people are willing to invest in you and the guys……….
Perhaps the answer is to find a freehold premise that we fund via investors on here and get a commercial rent.

Sad news after building up the business and reputation. Good luck in phase 2.

Absolutely gobsmacked to be reading this, really feel for you guys. I'm sure you will be back, bigger and stronger than before, I am sure that with the calibre of people on this forum something will come up that will put you in a much stronger and safer position.

 

[stindig]

Blimey! What a blow for you and everyone!

Can’t say enough good things about the quality of service over the years. I’m sure whatever happens in the future will be massive for you - can’t happen soon enough. Good luck with the unit hunt

Well when one door closes, another opens.
And there is no reason that it should not be brighter and better.

Matt and Ash. So sorry to hear this news, we are in the middle of Antarctica now and thought I would check any Maser updates. Really shityy news, as I enjoy visiting and keeping the GC in pristine condition. Hope you get new premises and continue, otherwise it will be a major loss for us all.

Cheers

Roary was just there as an example of their exceptional work

 

[Lozzingers]

So sorry to hear this news. Have heard nothing but absolute positivity about the work done there. Hoping you'll find a way to come back and continue the great work you do. Good luck!
