Norfolk electrical firm 'Bennetts' collapses « Posted: 10 March 2011 at 08:56 PM »
A major Norfolk-based independent electrical retailer has collapsed, it emerged tonight.

Bennetts, which employs about 300 staff in 14 stores, has called in administrators PKF.

The company is due to make an annnouncement in the morning but stores were closed early this afternoon and the company’s website appeared to have a technical problem.

The firm has major stores in Dereham, Norwich, Martlesham Heath in Suffolk, Bangor and Farnham.

Damn cant believe it, my aunt, uncle and her parents along with my cousin all swear by them.  Hope they get bought out and carry on trading - apparently the customer service is amazing.

to all the staff at bennetts electrical,wake up you will get shafted by the company and adminstrators,and any buy out will only save a small amount of jobs and in twelve months time,they will do the same the directors are proteched by ltd act,and staff will only get £270.00 for every year they have worked with bennetts.
