Don't let that stop you. Should be some sort of clearance sale once the administrators see whats going on.

Really sad news.
I have bought several goods from Kulkyne over the years, as their prices were the lowest and turnaround quick.

Hi Guys
Agree this is very sad news. This follows on from the demise of Black Widow Systems. Their drawers for 4wds were considered amongst the market leaders. However, this apparently did not save them.

What a bummer about Black Widow - that was really good gear, now no doubt being replaced by cheap overseas junk !!

That's really sad for both company's I didn't know Black Widow was going wow what's going on. I got Black Widow Draws in the back of my 80 Series and I bought a King Single Swag from Kulkyne

I was under the impression that Black Widow had sorted out their issues and were back in business again.
I haven't checked or confirmed that, but I will.

Yes, Mark and Karen Oliver have recovered and rebuilt with a new business.

What an awful way to lose your job! I just don't know how I would cope.
This makes me wonder: would you rather get a day's notice, or 2 years (eg GMH)?
I'm lucky never to have been in this situation.
Best of luck to all concerned.
