Following my redundancy from image presentation supplier, Spicer Hallfield, back in April, and turning to MSW-Design as my new venture, the Bucks Herald ran a story in their monthly business magazine, which distributes along with their weekly newspaper.
My ex-employer, Spicer Hallfield, unfortunately went in to administration due to uncontrollable debts, and the result for me was redundancy, as the administrators moved in and dramatically cut costs whilst they looked for a new buyer for the business.
The latest news is that unfortunately a new buyer hasn't been found, and the administrators are now in the process of liquidating the business.
This obviously results in major job loses, but it is also a big loss for the photographic industry. Spicer Hallfield have been an institution in the photographic industry, enjoying 100% brand recognition, but this wasn't enough to keep the company afloat in these tough economic times.
For me, not only having lost my full-time job, I am now having to look for new album suppliers, having naturally used Spicer Hallfield during my time there. I am so far undecided as to which new suppliers to use, but I'll be sure to replace like-for-like, so to prevent any disruption to my existing offers and services.
