Simon,

I don't know whether this question is allowed or welcome here, but how many people will loose their jobs at Kentmere?

Yes, I understand that there are changes in the industry, but just want to know...

how many years was the lease on the mobberly plant? 10 if I remember correctly.

Whilst I was pleased about Ilford staying in business I was at the same time fearful that it would mean some of the smaller producers would go to the wall. This buyout may well be the result. I just hope Ilford are already looking to find a longer term lease or premises than they currently have.

My apologies. You have a bit more breathing space.
