I wish Marshall cabs were cheap and plentiful in Sydney. I don’t know where they went.
Yours Sincerely

Quite sad in a way, they were one of the few family owned British companies left. I'm sure Zounds will take care of them though.

I think the surviving Marshall family members are still the largest shareholders, so maybe it will still be in good hands.Littlewyan wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 8:09 pm Quite sad in a way, they were one of the few family owned British companies left. I'm sure Zounds will take care of them though.

Well at least they are staying in Europe. Zounds is Swedish I think.

They only hold 24%, so I don't think they get much of a say in how things are run. I wonder why it was sold though, either the family were no longer interested in running it or it was losing money.ViperDoc wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 10:20 pmI think the surviving Marshall family members are still the largest shareholders, so maybe it will still be in good hands.Littlewyan wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 8:09 pm Quite sad in a way, they were one of the few family owned British companies left.

Aha! Legacy products are more likely to innovate by simplifying process instead of by innovation. It's like being a sitcom actor who is known for a catch phrase.
Dy-no-mite!
Heeeeey!
Marshall turned perspex into a legend. Silly. The Swedes will have to sell a lot of branded bottle opener phone apps to add value. I wonder where this swag will be manufactured. I am thinking Nigeria.
