just got off the phone to the former M D of footprint as this shows they are still there and I got the full story whitch is toooo long to repeat word for word but to make it short- As of today 1/10/2009 they will be starting as footprint sheffield ltd (I think thats how he put it) the bigist part of the fall was the fact they where moving as we know but they also had on order a £500,000 forge and with the fall of the £ against the Euro it made it more like £750,000 and the banks wont lend them the money. Plus most of there trade was with the construction industry witch also floped they did not have a chance as there old forge was broken up when they left the old premises. they are staring with the side of there lines they can still make for the time been and are re recruiting some of the staff that have been layed off.
