Hi there.
Many of you who do Facebook will have seen all the posts yesterday, from presenters and staff at Create & Craft, that they went into administration at midnight. A blow indeed. I held back on saying anything publicly, because it was important for the staff there to receive and digest the news that they have lost their jobs.
Many of these people are my friends, and I love them dearly. There are still so many unanswered questions, and I do hold out hope that somebody will rescue the channel.
Also to our customers. I know you how enjoyed the TV channel, and I understand that some of you have outstanding orders with other companies – but NOT WITH CLARITY. We honoured and fulfilled every single order that was placed for our products through Create & Craft – even after the Channel stopped airing. We took the hit on that. There are no outstanding Clarity orders through C&C.
As a wholly independent company, we are not governed by the conduct of others. We have always strived to be honourable in business.
So many suppliers – ourselves included – are owed substantial amounts of money, and now we must pedal extra hard to stay in business.
As Charles Darwin, or one of his clever mates, said:
It is not the strongest nor the most intelligent of the species that will survive, but the one most adaptable to change.
Is it the end of an era? I think more will be revealed. Maybe the start of a new one.
At 10am this morning and at 2pm in the afternoon, I shall be showcasing a brand new and beautiful collection of stamps and loveliness, LIVE from Clarity Towers. You can find us on Facebook CLARITY PAGE, LINK IS HERE , and on Claritycrafts Youtube. LINK IS HERE
Fabulous A4 Sampler, with a FREE brand new set of Baby Embedders. xxx Don’t forget to tune in – I’ve had a good idea!
Chin up. Keep calm and carry on. This too shall pass.
Love always,
