Evesham withdraws warranty support

Evesham Technology has announced in a press release on 21/02/2008 that warranty support for Evesham products prior to August 2007 has now been withdrawn. The press release reads:

"Evesham Technology Limited was placed into administration in August of last year, having been hit dramatically by the sudden withdrawal of the Home Computer Initiative by the then Chancellor, Gordon Brown.

In a structured deal PCC Technology Limited acquired certain assets of stricken Evesham from its administrators, including the Evesham brand.Tahir Mohsan, speaking on behalf of PCC Technology, commented:

“We are pleased with this investment and what we have been able to achieve, not just in terms of return on investment, but the structuring of the deal in such a way to minimise the adverse effects of an insolvency situation on consumers and employees alike. It shows just what can be achieved when issues are approached in a sensitive commercial manner.”

Notwithstanding Evesham’s administration all consumer orders were fulfilled or deposits refunded, a marked difference to other administration scenarios that have occurred in recent years. Whilst Evesham’s administrators were forced to make redundancies upon appointment, the manner in which PCC structured the deal enabled large numbers of staff to be retained by Evesham for an extended period whilst its operations were reduced in a controlled manner. This allowed many of Evesham’s staff to actively seek alternative employment whilst being employed, rather than being made redundant on the day of administration. Evesham’s customers also received free product support until early February. Now that this free support has come to an end, Total Care and Support Ltd are offering ongoing product support to customers of Evesham Technology Limited at a subsidised monthly rate. Tahir Mohsan commented, “It was no longer possible for Evesham to provide free support to its customers. However, PCC was conscious not to leave customers out on a limb without any support so has negotiated reduced rates with Total Care so that customers can take up support should they desire”
