Dont know about Swansea but i know of the Bridgend store they built fully kitted out and then a year later a fire burned that to the ground, everyone suspected insurance job then as well as shortly after they went into administration.

Does anyone know if Busters are part of the same organisation? I checked to see where my new drag bars were arriving and it said there was an overnight incident. Webpage is down.

M+P, Busters and On2Wheels (the trade division of M+P) all worked out of the same warehouse and offices - it's a long complicated story that involves sell-outs and firms going bust and bought back by the original owners etc.

Three of the managers at a firm I worked for left to join M+P to run On2Wheels and I applied for a job with them, then withdrew the application.
