heard on the grape vine today that last week padded cell lost the odyssey account. apparently certain people lost their job too! won't name names! if your in the distribution market and have a massive bank balance, could be a winner!
-
The boys, Fish , Joe, Skillfull Bill ect seem to think that odyssey is going bust :crazy2:
-
someone said this to me the other day about odyssey going bust ,hope not as been round a long time and do some good stuff these days
-
I think it might be that Odyssey distribution in the UK have gone bust. Well, the old oddy distribution that is.
-
Does that mean that padded cell are in trouble then ?
-
well i hope someone gets the account as there stuff at the moment is really nice. rims, hubs, etc are awesome and affordable! i don't think its odyssey thats gone bust as they are looking for a new distributor, you need roughly half a mill to buy the stock thats already in the country and another quarter of a mill to pay for the pre order stock thats on its way for 2008
don't know how it wil affect padded cell, but its a pretty big account to lose!

I heard that Oddy have got new distribution in the UK.
Also, like C.B.C.L. said, padded cell are in trouble and jobs have been lost there.

Do you think they'll hang on until I get paid?

just read this on another message board...
Mark from Padded Cell got in touch with us today to tell us whats happening with Odyssey and Padded Cell. It seems that the rumours are not true. Padded Cell aren't closing and they haven't got any cash flow problems. Their parent company did have problems back in January but that was then and at the moment they are doing great.
But anyways the Odyssey exclusive contract that Padded Cell have at the moment is in talks and things may or may not change depending on how everyone feels.
I had an email from Nuno at Odyssey a couple of months back and them guys are stoked on what the guys at Padded Cell are doing, so if anything this all just adds up to nothing at the moment. As soon as we find out more we'll let you know!
-
Nice one, I hope that is the case.
-
yeah me too! i think they've had a good thing going on since odyssey 'rebranded' itself with a really good product range a few years ago! i was really surprised to hear the news, especially the job losses

despite what rumours you may or may not have heard and what you think is fact and what you think is fiction.... all i can tell you is, that in a week or so, I will be able to offer you Odyssey products at some very reasonable prices. :daumenhoch:
