Just wanted to ask if anyone can confirm that Alltec has or is closing down? My local supplier seems to think so.is this correct?have they re branded? I been told that they won't bust during the last recession.
I recently received from Alltec some info For a training course, so I need  to know before I consider booking. Any news welcomed.

Robert Saunders sold it to Chris who rebranded it

[eduardo]

[Norbert]

Hi Eduardo,
Alltec's website shows all their training days for the rest of this year. They are still based at Butts Farm Business Centre, Butts Lane, Fowlmere, Royston, Hertfordshire SG8 7SC. http://www.alltecnetwork.co.uk/

I heard it was Robert Saunders that had gone Bust, Altec was bought out by one of the workforce

[robert meldrum]

Time for rumours I suppose........

I thought Alltec had been sold a couple of years ago and Chris left the company with Robert staying on as M D of the new set up.

It's a tough old world these days and there are far more supply companies than the market needs.

Alltec was dependent on mainly Carpet cleaners for their custom whereas companies like Prochem sell directly to Care Homes / Hotels / Offices, etc with chemical supplies being a huge part of their business.

A lot tougher when dealing with small customers with small budgets and additional competition appearing each year.

Stuart unless you have an official document that is a very dangerous remark.

[Chris D Thomas]

Just to set right the rumours, 'Active Chemical Products Ltd' went into liquidation at the end of July - they were the owning company trading as Alltec.  I then purchased the Alltec trading name, tel number & remaining stock through the liquidators. I have retained many of the staff and we have continued with business as usual, concentrating on restocking, improving customer service and generally trying to rebuild the Alltec reputation. We are still in the same premises just off the M11/A505 at Fowlmere, Royston, tel 01763 208222, www.alltec.co.uk. The support I have received from customers old and new has been overwhelming and I am very grateful to everyone that has supported me. Needless to say, all are welcome to pop in and see us! Chris.

Hi Guys

I was at Alltec last week while Chris sorted out a TM problem for me.

There was a really nice atmosphere and the staff were very pleasant.

Those of us that are nearish Alltec are lucky to have a quality company within driveable distance.

Cheers

Doug

Hi Guys

That is the obvious question for Robert to answer but I feel he encouraged others to market their CC businesses but didn't really market his.

Having said that, some are better at tecahing than actually doing, the schools are full of them

Cheers

Doug

[Paul Moss]

Doug i could not agree more with that

[robert meldrum]

Careful Paul ...........

[AshWhite]

I found Rob a bloody nice guy, shame its gone a bit Pete Tong for him but I'm sure he'll be back in the thick of it soon enough.

or he did market his business but his marketing was not up to its hype and didn't actually work

......sorry but i can't help but see the irony of a guy who teaches people how to run a successful business going bankrupt.... although I hear going bankrupt is the new strategy for success

[Shaun_Ashmore]

For me it was too cheesy don't forget that we were getting taught the intricacies of it so we could see through the hype.
