I don’t want to start unsubstantiated rumours, but I did see a French LR journalist post on FB today “RIP Bearmach” and then a load of comments about them going bust. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Yeah I heard something similar, hopefully it is just a rumour. People will still be placing orders so it would not be good for them. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Website just says ‘Bearmach is unable to fulfil your order today’

Doesn’t look good. Their last annual returns at the end of last year don’t make good reading.

I was going to order stuff and the wife said she saw something about Bearmach. I have used them in the past and never had a problem with them. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

How very sad for the employees Sad

On a positive, the company wasn't taking orders up to the point of administration as some companies would have.

Is anyone on this forum out of pocket? There's bound to be some, I would expect? Sadly, the customers are usually so far back in the line of creditors, the likelihood of receiving goods is almost zero.

Could this be a re-financing administration with the management buying it out in a pre-pack perhaps?

That's still not good news if you are awaiting bits. If it's over £100, always use your credit card.
