Wallasey and Moreton stores already been emptied. No hanging around and no prospect of bailout / buyout. Sad times.

Saw them emptying the Wallasey Village store a couple of days ago. I wonder what will happen to the stock and if any of it will be sold off cheaply. Very sorry for the staff who have lost their jobs, I bet Halfords will be rubbing their hands, less opposition.

Quite strange this. Tetrosyl own the Motor World brand. Its only 4 days ago that Tetrosyl said they were going to buy 32 of the Pacific Retail shops that closed.

What's even stranger, is I think Tetrosyl owned Pacific Retail before they closed, they seem to have had a division go into administration and another division of the same company is buying up the spoils.

I don't understand the full relationships but there is Tetrosyl, Godfrey Automotive, Motor World, Maccess, Motormania and probably more all involved in this.

Such a shame, and feel for those that have lost their jobs. Even less competition for Halfrauds now

Very odd to say the least and this article seems to make thing less clear.http://www.catmag.co.uk/tag/tetrosyl

Can't say I've been into a Motorworld for many years.
