Lakeland Bushcraft ceased trading?

[Fin]

Genuinely shocked! I always thought of Lakeland Bushcraft as "our shop".

For me as a customer they did everything right - Great, easy to navigate website, competitive pricing and second to none customer service. If a company like that goes under then I really am concerned for the economic prospects of this country.

Condolences Mark - if you can establish a business of that quality once - you can do it again.

Really sorry to hear this news.

I visited Lakeland last year while staying up in the Lakes and found Mark to be really good helpful bloke.

Hopefully things will improve for you soon.

Thank's Lurch.

I've very much enjoyed searching and shopping at your store. I've always felt that you've stocked items that worked and chosen with care for the user. Pre and after sales only confirmed that to me. I wish you all the best, and know that what ever your next venture, it will be executed with precision and care to detail, qualities always worth that little bit extra value.

Cheers fella.

I am sad and shocked to read this. I'm glad all is well with Mark and truly saddened that a good mans best efforts don't cut the mustard at the moment.

Sad to hear Lurch, you certainly had a great shop and never disappointed anyone. Has been great to meet you in person, maybe you can get to more meets now and enjoy the outdoors more though. Good luck in the future.

sorry to see a good online store gone, only used for a few small purchases but excellent service as with everyone else

Just wondering Mark, what has happened to your stock?

Some has gone back to suppliers to clear debts, some will be going back, some remains. At the moment my priority is to get the warehouse handed back to the landlord, so clearing out and painting is the big thing for now. Later I'll have stock to shift which to be honest will mostly be going to pay off suppliers. As a limited company I could just chuck it in the skip and say knickers to my suppliers but that's not my nature.

Sorry Mark, typed in a hurry without proof reading...

You'll have to prove you're alive at the next meet, I'll share a wee dram around the fire with you...

Looking forward to it mate, in some ways it'll be nice to attend a meet just as me rather than LBT - much as I enjoyed it.

 

[Swallow]

Sorry to hear this. Good luck Mark.

And that is exactly the reason you have gained such respect on this site and I'm sure elsewhere too.

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
