Like many of the customers we deal with today, we began selling stock on the markets around the UK in around 1972. We were constantly looking for stock to sell and were offered a parcel of Ex Catalogue stock.
The parcel turned out to be full of just about anything imaginable. When the goods arrived we realised that we had purchased “customer returns” which included named brand items of toys, household ,hardware, furniture and electronics etc… Of course, some of these items did not work or needed repairing but we didn’t let that put us off. The vast majority of the stock was working and saleable items that cost a fraction of the normal retail price and much less than any wholesale stock we had been able to buy.
The reaction we had to the stocks on our local markets was unbelievable, selling out every week. After a short time word got around the regular markets about how cheap we were selling stocks for, before long we were selling to the other traders on the market before we even had time to set up and sell to the public, this launched us into the wholesale market.
We moved from market trading into our first retail outlet not long after. From this first shop we opened another in Buckley, still our current location, which was larger and offered some warehouse space. As time passed we built up our wholesale operation until we were left with no choice but to find an even larger warehouse.
