Focus DIY in "financial meltdown"

[eastlondonseagull]

Interesting stuff, watch this space...

From Sunday Express financial section:

"Thousands of workers at Focus fear this week's creditors' meeting will reveal that the DIY retailer is in financial meltdown. Results show profits were down more than 50pc on sales of £732, down by about £100m."

Good riddance

Nice to see the East Grinstead shop is now closed

Unfortunately the workers will suffer but I don't think Archer will. He will have made sure his money is safe somewhere.

I would just love it if they knocked down one of his biggest stores and built a football stadium on it.

Bad news for all their employees who face being laid off and having their pension funds eaten away.

I just hope that this hits Archer in the pocket. Hard.

Well, if they only made £732 last year, no wonder they're in the shit.

It's ever since me and Mrs ELS took a wee up against the front doors of the Focus in Chesterfield

Just hope bastard Archer is affected personally somehow.

Didnt Archer sell Focus and Wickes for £300m last year, so his money is safe if he don't still own it.

Could give us our £7m back.

more people affected by the xxxx!

 

[Yorkie]

I thought he'd only sold Wickes?

 

[Mustela Furo]

I thought he had sold focus as well.

Miserable old bugger knew the shit was going to hit the fan so he bailed out with his own money intact again

All to true i'm afraid all these top boys never really suffer when a company goes down.
