    Not stocking Troway Hall/Medibee honey anymore - Looking for a new honey supplier.

    If I was wanting to keep selling the honey then I would agree that a phone call to Gloria would have been the first thing to do. Unfortunately, in my eyes, there is absolutely no excuse for supplying a niche product to a business directly next door. We do have separate customers but we also...

    Not trying to destroy anyone's reputation. I just said I don't agree with her business practices and asked some questions that's all. Forums are full of people with differing opinions. I accept but don't agree with your opinion just as you should the opinion of others. If you can't hack that...

    Not stocking Troway Hall/Medibee honey anymore - Looking for a new honey supplier.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion but the opinion of 30 or so small business owners all count too. What's happened is frown upon by business in general. I'm not a unreasonable person by any means but if you have invested time and effort into promoting a product only to have your sales...

    Not stocking Troway Hall/Medibee honey anymore - Looking for a new honey supplier.

    It's not actually a case of her avoiding our business. She phoned me up to place an order as usual like she always does. It's simply a case of her wanting to supply 2 shops next door to each other with the same product to try and sell more. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way! When she...

    Just got off the phone with Jez. Nice chap and all his honey is produced locally which is great. He's going to pop down this week and have a chat. On a different note... This smilie made me laugh so hard... :calmdown:

    Not stocking Troway Hall/Medibee honey anymore - Looking for a new honey supplier.

    It was very recently. I'm afraid that she is 100% aware of what she has done. There's no way she could not have known. She rings up every couple of weeks and I place an order. I chatted to her about 10 days or so ago. It really is just a case of having her cake and eating it. Thinking it's...

    Not stocking Troway Hall/Medibee honey anymore - Looking for a new honey supplier.

    Cheers Nige! It appears that it is a blend then. I would very much doubt it would be on there otherwise. Best people to ask would be them though methinks. She's not really been dishonest as she never said it was local honey. She just sort of works on assumptions which I fell for! Maybe it...

    Not stocking Troway Hall/Medibee honey anymore - Looking for a new honey supplier.

    Thanks for the reply =] I haven't spoken to her yet no. Admittedly I probably should have though. I've been pretty angry about the whole thing so don't really want to say anything I will regret etc. I think if it wasn't a blend people would just say "produce of England/UK", or I would if it...

    Not stocking Troway Hall/Medibee honey anymore - Looking for a new honey supplier.

    Fair do's. I can't rightly ask for any insight into where a certain supplier sources their honey without the suppliers name unfortunately. Plus I'm just starting conversation. I'd be interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on the business practice etc too. Again, any thoughts on any of my...

    Not stocking Troway Hall/Medibee honey anymore - Looking for a new honey supplier.

    I wouldn't say it's slanderish. I'm not saying anything about her honey that it doesn't say on her jars. Apart from the fact I think it's too expensive, which is just opinion not slander. I could understand if I was saying "Troway hall's honey is actually a blend of Tesco value honey and dog...

    Not stocking Troway Hall/Medibee honey anymore - Looking for a new honey supplier.

    Ello people. I own a greengrocers in Sheffield, borderline Derbyshire and have been stocking Troway Halls honey for a long time now, probably since they started the brand I would imagine. We've always got on well with Gloria Havenhand and always had a good chat whenever she has called for us...
