They have been stocking the PF reels for at least a couple of months to my knowledge. No idea about directors though.
I thought PF was a subsidiary of the engineering company?

You nosey bugger  ;)

edit: Just been nosey myself and all the purefreedom/adepta directors have resigned and now have the directors of window cleaning warehouse installed so i think its fair to say they are under new ownership.

I ordered a reel from them on black friday it took 2 weeks to to turn up and when it did it was damaged. Took another 2 weeks to get a replacement. Will avoid in future if i can.

Lack of competition usually means one thing……increased prices!

Jusging by past experience, looks like we'll need to keep a keen eye on PF's customer service. If they descend to WCW's recent levels, we're doomed.

Interesting that when I posted a review of WCW their response was to ask me whether my low mark was fair rather than to reflect on why I'd rated them so low. Up to two years ago, most of their reviews were 5*. Recently about a third are 1*. Doesn't bode well for Pure Freedom.

Personally I’ve always received a good service from them I think once they sent the wrong size elbow but they sent the right one out for the next day.

I can only speak from experience which is placing 10-15 orders with WCW but every time, without fail, the whole process has been faultless. I like their website too, very simple and easy to navigate.

I wonder what the thinking is with them buying Pure Freedom and Adepta engineering? Either buying out the competition or buying a trading business to use as their own northern base?

Post Andrew Mccan, ive only ever had good service from Purefreedom, so a little concerning there's a change of ownership. Thats not a sleight on WCW, just a case of "better the devil you know".

I find WCW expensive. Far better value form 'window cleaning stuff' and 'soapnational'. It's win win for me, better value and supporting smaller companies- there's absolutely nothing healthy about a lack of competition!!😎👌

He nearly put me off buying my static setup I told him I want everything sent to me so I can plug in when it comes at the end of the week so I can make water,he sent me no hose or fittings when I rang him he said well you didn’t buy them the fool.
Terrible attitude completely in the wrong job being the first point of call,I spoke to the other younger chap there he couldn’t have been more helpful saying that the older chap does know his stuff.
