I just seen on the news, empire direct have gone into administration.
& a note on there website.
:
Mark Firmin and Richard Fleming, both of KPMG LLP, were appointed in the High Court as Joint Administrators of Empire Direct Plc on 19 January 2009. The business is unable to trade in administration due to low stock levels and operating losses and accordingly the stores have been closed. The administrators are working hard to assess the position for customers who have made payments and not received goods. We will endeavour to contact these customers over the next few weeks.
Anyone interested in acquiring any part of the business should contact the administrators forthwith.
The administrators anticipate that the following helplines will be available from as early as possible on 20th January 2009.
If you are a customer then please call the helpline on 08714729000. If you are a supplier then please call the helpline on 08714729001. Alternatively you can send an email to
orderqueries@empiredirect.co.uk.
Please note that emails will be responded to as soon as possible, however this may not be on the same day that we receive your query.
