here's the skinny with Trace Elliot

[JB1]

J,

I used to work for the Yellow Advertiser series and covered Thurrock...cannot remember for the life of me where the factory was.
From what I remember they did have a main place at the Blackwater industrial estate in Maldon, closed some time in 2002. The Thurrock connection may have been an HQ or something....

From what I remember, in 2002, Clive Roberts was the MD at the time.

Mark Gooday, now the main mover with Ashdown (based in Maldon as well) was involved but not sure when.

TE was one of our great british companies.......now we look to ashdown!!!

Thanks Rob. I'll do some more digging...

The YA is still going strong!

I play Ashdown exclusively too and Mr G is related somehow to my neighbours............

Thanks for the info Dlloyd.

Makes interesting reading. All seems a bit acrimonious doesn't it?

Yep, very bitter. There's a lot more, and it's all fairly libellous

I'm deleting the link I put above.

Blimey if it was acrimonious and libel I wish I had seen the link now......
