Default Spicer Hallfield in Administration

I've been away from the forum whilst setting up another business, but thought I would share the information for those involved in social photography.

I received an email stating that it was business as usual until a buyer has been found by the administrators, which I understand is the 17th April 2009 from a rumoured source.

I have an outstanding order with them and they rang me up wanting payment before delivery....I don't think there will anybody to ring after the holidays!

That's very sad news indeed. I hope that a buyer can be found.

Spoke to them today and it appears quite positive...they are completing existing orders and expecting to find a new buyer and carry on with the move.

They had only started to get their act together offering luxury/ modern Seldex albums (I had always hated those naff cheap wedding albums). So fingers crossed they stay in business.

Banks pulling the plug...remind me why we gave them those billions?
