Christmas Tree 4459 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Very sad news today that this Newcastle company has ceased trading with the loss of 93 jobs. When I used to deal with them they were the biggest full service marketing agency in Newcastle. Some great people worked there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Read this on Sunday on the Chronicle website. US firm did a leveraged buy-out of three agencies, the other two in Bristol and London. Fucked the finances and since the crisis were unable to keep it afloat. The underlying business was fine, the US parent company had too much debt and the whole thing collapsed.

Guest You FCB Get Out Of Our Club Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Very sad news today that this Newcastle company has ceased trading with the loss of 93 jobs. When I used to deal with them they were the biggest full service marketing agency in Newcastle. Some great people worked there. Sad news. I had an interview there when I was 19, 10 applicants, got down to the final two for a position that would've been amazing at that age, but they chose the other bloke. I couldn't stop staring at the interviewers tits, that's why I think I didn't get it. It's such a lush building that it's like beside the arch, on your way to Stanley Casino.

(Distant) relative of mine, cheeky bastard. His credibility couldn't have dropped much lower after the 'Robson & Jerome' debacle, shirley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His credibility couldn't have dropped much lower after the 'Robson & Jerome' debacle, shirley? Oh my lohurve.... He's from the place I grew up, as it happens. As for the programme in question, when I heard about it I thought 'Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
