I've been trying to get hold of these all day. No-one is answering ANY phone calls or emails, they surely can't be on holiday. ANyone else got in contact with these today???

[CHR1S]

They recently moved offices, could be issues because of this

[riffleman]

Or maybe they've taken advantage of the short week and closed up for 3 days?

[KWestos]

Just found out they have gone out of business

The Biometrics are developed by cyclone industries, who I beleve split off from A2Z some time ago, and therefore are still opperating.

 

I was hoping that an offical announcement from the ex A2Z would have happened by now but not seen anything yet.

 

(apart from other suppliers telling me the details of course!)

 

It appears they have gone into Liquidation, don`t know what details are publically available.

To be honest, all sorts of things get said when companies go under or when things are moved around. Auditors and Companies House do keep an eye on these things as well as trading standards so it might just be worth not suggesting such things until a formal notice is put up from administrators or the company itself.

I personally have no opinion either way, our warranties for equipment ran out 3 weeks ago, and we renewed with a different company who specialise in just dealing with warranties. Happy days Edited April 26, 2011 by featured_spectre

[robk]

Its worth noting that companys that A2Z resold for/ provided support for are not affected.

 

So both Cyclone industries (Live Register) and Impero are NOT involved in this. Impero have always been independant, and have been providing their own support for the past Year or so.

As few people have contacted us over problems A2Z seem to be having. Like Rob said Impero was never owned by A2Z they were our main reseller a few years back but we have been selling direct to schools as well via other resellers for number of years now. Impero is growing stronger every day and Impero has not gone bust.

It would be nice if the administrators bothered to put up an official post on the A2Z website, but I can say for sure that all of the staff have been made redundant from senior management down to individual account managers. I personally know most of them and have been following their progress for some time now. You will probably receive calls from the acc mans as they have quickly moved on to new companies. I feel sorry for the non-sales staff though who may struggle to move so quickly into new jobs. There were some good people there and I wish them all the very best.

[JonWPS]

Only just had confirmation of what has happened this morning from our former account manager. Goes some way to explaining the problems we sometimes had with them in the past, but does leave us with 100+ PCs without any sort of warranty on them now, which isn't great.

[Cools]

my old account manager now works for PROMO IT.. i always ask if he's been fired.. yet.. 5 days a go i got a "Errr.. yes.." 28th last moth they went under.. he said.

and most of them work for PROMO IT now..

[featured_spectre]
