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.
It's a game of three halves!

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.
