Amen to that...

I have to agree the way the late great big blue 'E' has behaved have been absolutely disgusting.

With no methods of payment left to the showrooms (debit, cash, cheque and finance ALL being withdrawn) and the laughable balls up with the courier company leaving us no stock; it's no wonder the whole retail arm of the company ground to a halt! And people wondered why we were all bordering on the side of caution..? Sales is a cut throat world but 99% of all sales staff in the big blue 'E' were real human beings, we had lives and we had moral issues with over-selling to people (unlike some firms...), always put the customer first and (more often than not resulting in putting ourselves out personally with no hint of thanks) prided ourselves in giving the customer the very best service we could, thus earning ourselves the highest recommendations as 'the' bespoke (and only premiere UK based) IT manufacturer. We often would not think twice about putting in that extra mile for a man who never bothered directly communicating with the people who made him his money!

Despite threat of closure and for those in the know you know who we are, we managed to hold back the wolves from our doors and hold on to our pride and dignity until the bitter end; which happened around 5.05pm Friday 3rd August 2007. This day will always be remembered as a mark of disrespect from someone on 'Mount Olympus' to all those 'mere mortals'...

I feel a new verb has been added to the 'E' nglish language. 'To Austin'... Make of that what you will...

To my former colleagues, and there are unfortunately quite a few; my respect and sincerest sympathies, my heart goes out to you all. If I'm ever in a position to receive a CV with Evesham Technology in it, rest assured you are guaranteed a job for I know the calibre of employee you are. To my customers; I am ashamed. I hope in the next life you will find it in your heart to forgive me; for I was like mushroom - fed on s**t and kept in the dark.
