I have been a long term customer before they had the posh shop, I starting when I was 15 buying a 2m receiver and a Jay beam antenna rotator cables mast etc, I am now in my 60's, then they move down south so I always intended to visit but it was just to far so I have been getting all my equipment from another outlet. I telephoned Walters & station a few weeks back knowing they had moved to ask if the shop was open, it was & I was welcome to visit. I called the day before all was good for my visit, it took 2&1/2 hours to get their but i was sure it would be worth the time and to make contact with them after so long. The show room is tiny no bigger than a tiny corner sweet shop with almost no sweets, no prices on any thing mostly empty shelves and blank wall space, I telephoned them to say I was their, I rang the assistance bell which I can hear sounding no one came, I again walked about i had come all this way so My wife could buy me an Icom IC-9700, desk mike and Hella headphones which are for her really (so she cont. hear the radio. ) I walked out and left, some staff were outside, I looked at them, so I got in my car & drove away. my Wife per swaged me to call them, which I did, the man who answered my call was not concerned what happened just wish me a pleasant trip back home. I know they have merged with a couple of other firms, I do know our club members are awaiting my report on this trip, which can only be bad. Cleary the new group are not interested in visitors, the so called showroom is totally lacking and is not like the staged pictures on the website. you are not welcome to visit and they go out of their way to make sure you do not feel welcome and you do not come back. I would loved to of given a glowing happy report but not a hope, I had to click one star as minimum, I waster my time, money fuel and deeply disappointed.
