Vinny Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Down here in Bournemouth there is a rumour that a member of the Benchmark group has been taken over by Timpsons.

Lee Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Interesting that this rumor has sprung up once again. I did phone James direct following the last one and at that time he said they had no interest in the BenchMark group be interesting to see if this is or isn't the case. When you find out the low down let us know. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
