As many of you are already aware, Pendraken is a family business that was started by Lynne and Dave back in 1992. I started working for Pendraken back in 2004 and then took over the day-to-day running of things in 2009 as the business had grown beyond a part-time concern. Since then we've moved into our own premises, we've taken on more staff and expanded way beyond that little hobby business working out of the garage!
So, with a view to Lynne and Dave's retirement one day, I've now been made a partner and we've merged Minibits (my own business) into Pendraken to make a single company. We'll continue to have the two websites, Pendraken concentrating on 10mm while Minibits stocks a wider variety of products, but both will be under the single Pendraken/Minibits umbrella.
All emails will also be dealt with under a single address as well, so please update your contact details to leon @ pendraken.co.uk (without the spaces!)
So to sum up, there's not a lot changing really and you can ignore this thread!
Congratulations!
Yep, congrats on this Leon :)
"Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose!" :)

Good stuff, Leon (and Dave).
The only bit that I'm struggling with is Leon working from 2004, must have been all of 5 then ;)
Congratulations

Paraphrasing Roger Daltrey
Meet the new boss
Similar to the old boss
Does this mean you get to 'network' as much as Dave at Salute ;)
Does this now mean you will be coming to Historicon?
( This has been fairly definatively answered in the negative in past years but as management has changed (or not changed), thought it worth posing again). :)

I'd like to visit myself but I'm not sure it would ever be viable for the business. When we looked into it last time it was about £3000 in costs and 6 weeks of transit times for the stock, so it's just too much money and time really. We'd need Historicon to be right in the middle of a 6-week window without any UK shows around it.
Good news Leon, makes sense in every respect.

"President for life" is all the rage at the moment... ;D
"Dark Lord Ascendent" would look nice on a business card.
"El Grande Presidente Pour Vida" I think is the popular term...
Congrats, and errr, carry on :)
