Europart Euronews Autumn 1997

Image
This 21 year old pamphlet is an internal release to staff at Europart, which at the time (and maybe still is) part of Maddocks. Of particular note is the mention they got in Which? Magazine July 1997, as I found and bought a copy, so we can see what was said!

Europart Distributor List - Date Unknown

Image
This fell out of the back of the Biolene catalogue when I scanned it in, and is a list of Europart distributors, from a date unknown! Possibly rather pointless nowadays, however I've scanned it in, and picked 3 of the addresses to see where they are now! So, the scans: And the modern day views! Appliance Spares Slough (just up the road from me) seems to be a Gentlemans Barbers shop (not Monopol, I found a building number further up and counted back) J.S.Graham & Son might possibly still be there, the building certainly is, although looking at that skip they might be either renovating or being gutted for a new lease... But Finally... Electromart are still there, and still trading! Might find their twitter and point them towards this, well done Electromart!

Biolene Dust Bag Catalogue

Image
This large catalogue is just for dust bags! From the Biolene brand, who you don't see much anymore, I presume they got taken over by, or were already owned by Qualtex, going by the old Qualtex logo on the back cover. Either way, a handy guide to refer unknown packs of bags one might have floating around to a machine!

GLM Domestic Appliances and Spares Brochure

Image
This nice little brochure belongs to GLM, who seem to be a subsidary, or owned by Unifit. Some vacuum cleaner content, they seem to sell finished goods and spares. No date sadly, although the cleaners date it enough!

Independent Electrical Retailer 2007

Image
10 years on from the 1997 magazine from the same publication, I have a black and white scan! It shows how much time has moved on, alot less bias towards bagged machines!
