Eurocraft GB LTD Sinks

Eurocarft GB LTD went into receivership last week. And from what I hear they have allot of outstanding monies to creditors.
If you have or know of anyone who has a boat in there having work done it maybe a good idea to find out what's going on and remove it from the premisses.

I've also heard that two existing staff maybe taking the company on and trading as Eurocraft LTD (with out the GB).
Now I normally don't listen to rumours and I know of the effect of Chinese whispers but this came from a very reliable friend.

I have never rated them. all tubes we had done by them had to be repaired in the first twelve months, be it they were only minor repairs though.

Still, I have to admit, it sad to see these companies go
