Dear sir,

Ralph and Steph Bewsher, with a total of over 70 years loyal service to FCRA and DCRO would like to make the following known:

On the 18th January at a meeting of the FCRA Board the five members present reached, by a majority, the unnecessarily hasty decision to cease trading with immediate effect. This was totally without regard to the interests of the staff.

As a consequence the staff have not been, and will not be, paid by the company. A delay of just one day would have made a big difference to their immediate financial wellbeing.
