O/T Sinking Quite A Few Beers

[animallittle3]

I happen to know a bit about your company mate, and they did the same with the Pharmacy arm a few years back. This was sold to Well.
I also know there’s redundancies in the Manchester offices too. The Food sector has already seen large closures/sell offs to “One stop” Petrol station forecourt shops closing and others too , not directly Brexit, but a result of competition brought in by Aldi and Lidl no doubt. In areas where this happens there will undoubtably be closures of competitors, and as you predict in your sector, the prices will go. The low price, low cost model of these two supermarkets will drive prices up eventually, in the long term
I also heard via the grapevine that the Pharmacy arm is to be re-Launched. Strange that.

As if to underline your point, as much as I know about your firm, I didn’t even know they had an electrical business!.
I was looking for a dishwasher today, YES The Old one broke and I’m a Posh tw@t that hates standing at the sink, .......((Well if you’ve owned one you’ll know how that feels, and if you’ve never owned one then think of the heartache you’ve missed when it breaks....!,,)).. And I googled loads and never came up with anything related to your firm......kinda highlights what you say about their Marketing

Thanks for that Jules , the plot thickens so to speak .

Your search for a dishwasher online sums it up mate .

At the top of the management chain we clearly were in need of some kind of expert in this field with a strong record in online retailing who knows how to provide the marketing required and drive sales forward .

I'm told our top man has never worked anywhere else and he's about my age .

That suggests given his age and the fact that online retailing is a relatively new thing he's fallen in to this role rather than made his mark as a result of it , possible fell in to it from the days we retailed in town and city centres as a department store .

I'm seriously trying to look at this with an open mind too and consider other factors rather than pin the all blame on higher management .

At this moment in time it's difficult to make a case for them and I'm someone who loves the company as a place to work .

Very sad situation and I'm left feeling that we've all got let down here pretty badly and it was avoidable .
