COMPANY HISTORY
 
Dear Customer
 
This business started in 1983 when I found that my interests were changing and I decided to sell a personal collection. This coincided with the initial demise of Airfix and I found a ready market for my kits. So much so that I decided to deal in them.
 
The business ran as a part time hobby until 1989 with a turn over of some £20,000 per annum. One of my fondest memories is of my small children using daddy's parcels one Sunday, after I had finished the weeks packing, to build a fort to play cowboys and Indians.
 
Finally the time came when I thought that I could make a living from full time kit dealing and, wanting to get out of the rat race, I gave up my day job. It was a difficult decision but on the basis that you don't regret what you do in life, your regret what you don#t do, I decided to give it a go.
The business has boomed, with turnover doubling and doubling again and again. How turnover is about £250,00 per annum with over 100,000 kits in stock in our 3000 sq. foot warehouse. A far cry from the spare bedroom and I've done £50.00 this week missus!
