Patrick Murfet moving on...................

Patrick is still listed as sole director

Bee Equipment only changed hands on 19th December, Patrick has resigned as director of Bee Equipment Ltd and S Hagen has replaced him ... it would be very remiss of the new owners of Bee Equipment not to have put in place a non-compete clause into the transfer of ownership or restrictive covenants to prevent a former owner setting up in competition. Whether Value in Beekeeping is retained by Patrick or has been transferred or wound up may become clear as time passes.

Just had an advert on Facebook from 2 days ago saying the British Beekeeping Show is cancelled for 2024 "following the change in ownership of Bee Equipment" "will remain in the capable hands of Patrick".

Final death throws I guess. Can't see it ever coming back, not with how good, popular and well represented by traders the the Telfoed Show is.

I see from Companies House that Patrick is back as sole director.

Well .... let's give them a chance to get going and see what happens ... early days, with someone new at the helm they may turn into the best bee supply company in the UK....

I'm still waiting on an order from February, despite two emails chasing them up...

Sounds pretty typical of the company.

I placed an order 2 days before the " we have ceased trading" message on the website.
They promised fulfilment within 7 working days.
After 12 working days and 2 emails which just received the standard response I contacted my bank and had the payment reversed.
I don't think they had any intention of sending out my order and I was well miffed.
If "Have a bees" are anything to do with B.E. I'll be avoiding them like the plague.
