Thats what I have done
Me too. Hagens emailed me today. I bought a couple of ekes from BE over a year ago, and I feel that if Hagens [having done any sort of deal with them BE]it's a grey area. I did not give BE permission to pass my data to any third party [which should include anyone taking their business over and trading under a different name]. Any more emails from Hagens will simply go into Spam. If I don't like a company's business ethics, I suspect their products, too. So I don't trade with them.
If BE, who had my data, were selling out to another trader would it not have been a better advertisement to email all existing customers to give notice and offer customers the option of unsubscribing at that point? Simon the Beekeeper [Caldwell] did just that - so I am happy to hear from the successor trader from Lancashire - who retain the same business name.
 
I received the email too. I will buy from them if it’s in my interests to do so. I had bought from the previous company and I’m not overly bothered about being mailed by Hagen.
The emails that really bug me are all gambling/casino related - something I’ve never done. I block them over and over again and I’ve discovered whilst the main company name may be blocked, I receive it again and again, each time seemingly via a pseudo email address, listed directly beneath the company name. I also block that address but on and on it goes…..
 
Being honest I'm more annoyed by the oft repeated mantra of can't talk to you unless you confirm x y z . It's security you know! This goes on when the buggers phoned me on my mobile! I can easily block spam posts
I work on the premise the anyone who calls me first tells me what they want. Until they do we don't have a topic of conversation.
 
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if the erstwhile Stephanie knows owt about bees?
She’s down on the Companies House form as a company director where as Patrick was down as a bee keeper
 
Oh this could be an opportunity. Maybe she will give me a job! I would like to have a go at that website, and make it more beekeeper friendly. I bought lots of stuff from Patrick, and never had any trouble. There was little on the current Hagen website that I would want or need to buy.

they chop and change directors/company names so frequently it's surprising they know which office to turn up at.
