    That's a shame. Good kit. Generally, their customer service could be better, but it'll be a pity if they go.

    After seeing this post I went to my local one as I needed new textile trousers to match the HG jacket. The shelves were bare! So came home went online and ordered them as they were in stock good offer on spend £160 get £40 off or spend £300 get £100 off!

    Spoke to the manager at HG and he said that there is two company's looking to buy them. But with the way things are I'm not holding my breath hence why I made my purchase.

    @y2blade I would get spending those vouchers today!

    Just had a mailout from MAG who said they were looking to sell the UK company as it was separate to the German parent, which lost £1.3m last year. :eek:

    I always found the range shown on the web-site to be very poor and a small fraction of what you can get in the shops. Best bet is to get down to a HG store and have a mosey round, they have loads of stuff from most of the top manufacturers as well as their own-brand stuff.
