Specialists in Liquid Solutions.


Does that mean they’ve gone into liquidation?  :o

I think they may manage a month before they play that card, again. Lol

Does that mean my hydra alloy pole will no longer be a limited edition barely used antique collectors item ?

Looks like an entirely different board of directors this time though...

Soupy, you may be right!
I wouldn't trust them with my money whatever their company name or directors names.
It's not like they ever were innovators to the industry. Yes they built solid systems but then charged a fortune for parts that could be sourced locally cheaper, (I wonder if another company reads this!) that coupled with poor customer service. It's always going to be a struggle for anyone whilst being associated with that name. Just my thoughts.

Totally agree, even their poles where measured/sold in reach length to fool customers into thinking they where buying a longer
pole than they where actually getting.

I have a trolley system and a pole from Brodex that must be over 10 years old and still going strong. IMHO their kit was always well made.

I notice their registered office is in Radstock Somerset. Perhaps Franky could go on a cycle ride and check if it is a real office or a "paper" one.

The wording on that site suggests they are still trading under their own name looking on companies house. Only thing that has changed is they now have a new financial backer that's all.  Going by this I would have thought nothing has changed including the people that run brodex on a day to day basis.

Will be interesting to see how long the new backers last as I feel the brand name has been destroyed over the years by bad customer service, loss of sales by new kids on the block etc.
