I spoke to that lad today on the phone.. He lives not far from me, he is gutted after they phoned him as he has a wife and kid... would be better that they confirmed this though..

 

[nybor62]

same as above ive just been on there forum , the lad says they have took his money , and cancelled the course

 

[Spud]

thats another big name in the training course game gone I hope the lad gets his money back

Well that was a bit sudden, I thought they were the "Leading Tiling Training Centre in the UK".

Pretty sure it'll be true if they're not removing that thread, answering the phones, and it appears they've removed their mobiles that they used to have for out of hours support. And their website says no dates available for courses (in one part but I got to the booking form on another part).

The training centre does look shut but their big van that they do their tiling work in isn't there. But there's some old blue banger there.

I hope he paid by credit card and can claim back. Same as some did when Diamond went bust.

i hope they havnt i was one of the 1st trained out of PITT along time ago in fact the trainer was a bit of a spotty nerdy stokey kid he was only about ten at the time cant remember his name couldnt half drink thou and smoked like a chimney

Times are hard and i know if you are on the brink of going bump the downside is you dont get time to always do the decent thing ie call up customers

 

[Dan]

lol Chris. I always smoked outside. And my name was Dan 😛

I got replaced by a Car Salesmen who had zero experience although they claimed he had. He too can drink. lol

Paul Riley may have seen this coming as he has a van now offering his wall and floor tiling services so it looks like he's been on the tools for a while maybe?

 

[Dan]

Well, it's true then.

Members/Friends,

Yes the news is true as of Friday afternoon PITT ltd and Trades Direct has ceased trading, this has come to us as much as a shock as everyone else.

As you all know times are tough at the moment but this situation has been forced upon us by HM revenue & customs which left us with no alternative but to take voluntary liquidation.

We have not taken any money corruptly as this only happened Friday afternoon, and thank you to those of you who know that this is not how we ran the business.

All the team at PITT/Trades Direct are devastated as you can imagine as a lot of time, effort and money has gone in to the business over the last 7/8 years.

PITT/Trades Direct was a small family business which among other staff included Paul his wife Sharon his daughter Angela and my self Paul’s son in law. So as you can all see for us all now to be left in this situation with a un certain future this has not been an easy decision.

We are truly sorry to any one who has booked on a course and you will be contacted by the liquidators in due course.

This web site will not be going down any time soon so please carry on posting as normal.

As all you regular users know Paul has dedicated his life to PITT and this forum, emotions are still very raw and please give him time.

I personally would like to thank all of you on here for making this the best tiling forum and for all your help and support of the past years.

Thanks again Phil
