Working at Woodrups I can assure you there will be some good news about the Bob Jackson operation coming. In terms of their prices, as explained previously by myself in this thread, the prices were too low and they were only able to offset their losses on frames and paint with the rent from the retail units below. Once the retail unit revenue was removed from the equation (with the sale of the building), without a massive restructure; it was game over for Bob Jackson as we all know it.
It has been a rollercoaster couple of months for sure but I think how things have ended up is the best it could have been... we’ll leave the tastefully painted “classic pro team” carbon frames to px.
Hi TM, do you know what will happen to the framebuilders who worked at BJ? Just trying to make sense of what transpired. At one point the plan seemed to be to continue at BJ with the same staff but then there was an abrupt change of plan because the new manager didn't show up?
