Re: Reason

In our case when a customer refused to pay on 'such and such' grounds where they were a sub-contractor to another company, we moved all their work to 'holding' and got on making other people's stuff

Then we found out that our valued customer was in the process of stiffing other suppliers in the same way.

Their aim was to bankrupt their sub-contractors so that they wouldn't have to pay their bills. thus keeping all the profits we'd make(and other suppliers make) for themselves

Must have been hard for them to explain why the project was being held up for a lack of pressure housings we had no intention of finishing until we'd been paid for the 1st batch.

And people wonder why I always want to go with the boss for the annual visit to a Birmingham customer..
