Matt Harwood Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 After reading this thread, I thought I'd better set the record striaght... As of May, I handed over Sextons Maidstone entirely to my business partner, Ian Thompson. After 15 years in the automotive electrical trade, I just felt that I needed a change. I now work for a company called AutoPlanet. A car Supermarket chain based in the south east. I work in their 'specialist finance' department, meaning that I now work trying to get finance for people that have had financial difficulties in the past and/or have been turned down elsewhere. A big thank you from me to Mike Marden for getting me this job, which is far less stressful and better hours than running a business. I'm still happy to do the odd job here and there and offer advice if needed, but I don't get a lot of spare time and I value my days off! Sextons Maidstone continues to trade as normal with both Ian and Mark. Many of you will already know Mark as he has always worked on Supras since my obsession began in 2001. For those of you that don't know Mark, I assure you he is an extremely competent auto-electrician, enthusiastic and conscientious with everything he does. He's VERY familiar with Supra's and been installing RLTC, E-manages and all other electrical bits for the past 6 years. So, now that I'm not a trader anymore, I'll be sticking all my spare parts up for sale very soon as private sales. A big thank you, to all those who have supported us over the years And bollox to those that have slagged us off. You know who you are and I know you're just jealous 'cause we do things properly!

Matt Harwood Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Still got the yellow beastie though have you? Yes, I'm not parting with that just yet In fact, I get a nice new company car now, which means the Supra gets even more sleep than normal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Best of luck Matt... The "new lads" fitted my Clifford & stuff a couple of months ago - great job and worth the 2 hour drive. Hope you keep hold of the Yellow Peril and we see you at some shows. Cheers G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Keep them! You never know when you'll need spares. I was thinking about storing my spares at my local storage centre, but for some reason, all the units seem to be full! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Are you coming to TOTB this year? I doubt it to be honest. No time or money at the moment. Working a month in hand (Commission), has buggered me up for a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken others over to the dark side. Anyway, best wishes for the new career, Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
