    Gadget Shop in Administration

    I don't usually shop their since their prices are pretty poor but its always a poit of call to waste some time in the shopping mall. Just went onto their website

    http://www.gadgetshop.com

    And they appear to be administration i seem to have missed this, is it a recent thing or been about for a while?

    Ohhh didnt think it was going that bad for them.

    They were always fun to go in and have a look but at the end of the day the gadgets were always too useless and cost too much.

    i soo loved that shop, playing the shock game thing with mates who didn't know what it did was classic

    Remember playing it at a pub while on a ski holiday once. The completly pissed guy got shocked and fell backwards off his stool and looked like he'd been shot

    They are not going into administration because of lack of business tho, as i understood it the three leading directors had a split and the 2 who want to continue with the business can't afford to buy out the other guy.

    Hence the business having to go into administration. (NOT liquidation - there is a big difference)

    The business is a going concern and will likely change hands (or be bought out by the other 2 directors)
