Does anyone know if they've closed? Their site hasn't worked for a while.

Not sure if they were part of it or not but a lot of small companies websites went down recently after a server crash in the UK?

And stayed down so long? But I see signs it's just a holiday for the staff, so no need to panic yet.

I contacted Mick directly some time ago, but haven't heard anything since. All the other sites that were affected seem to be back online. I hope Leven return soon as I have lots of stuff from them, some of which I want to add to.

I don't know.
However;
Someone on another site said he had not been well recently and was taking some time out. The suggestion was it was temporary. Then the server went down.

Hope he recovers. Simple benevolence aside, they're excellent models.

Could be wrong on this but think his son and daughter in law were selling his trdae stand display models at JoS in July to make space. They did say he was ill but would be back in production.

Mick has been very poorly - He is training his son and daughter-in-law in all the intricacies of the business and they are determined to not allow the company to die. IT is, however, a process that takes time (they both have "real" jobs too).

I was assured they will be back!

Hope he feels better soon and good to know that the company should continue in some shape or form.

Mick is recovering from surgery - he hopes to have the site up and working in the next few weeks when he is recovered enough to handle orders.

To be accurate - a medical procedure as opposed to surgery.

Thanks for the update and wish him a speedy recovery!
