over 5000
workers went to sleep last night expecting to go to work. Some would have known of the first pull out from Vodafone but now the 2nd biggest EE has also stopped all contracts. |

It looks like it might of been down to a case of negligence by the owners rather than the company not being profitable.
The owners had been looking to sell up since the start of the year and had offers on the table that looked likely to go through and they didnt bother to tie up new deals with service providers as they believed it would soon no longer be their responsibility to do so. When all the buy out offers fell through they were left high and dry with service providers no longer obligated to give them phone contracts to sell. http://www.financial-spread-betting....-buy-outs.html They neglected the company in the belief they were about to cash in on its sale. Hopefully the Liquidators will find a buyer quick and avoid the job losses. Last edited by billy123; 16-09-2014 at 09:33 AM. |

I work in the Tech industry and it came as a huge surprise...they have good profitability. There's something odd that's gone on, I'd be interested to find out exactly what.
