Thread: Gregory Machinery still trading ?

They had a massive clearance sale last month, maybe that was the end of the line.

Interesting! Their website just says "Massive Warehouse Clearance" but not "Moving". Thanks for clearing that up! Would've expected a message saying "We're busy moving for x days"

I phoned them on Thursday to ask about an order and they said they were super busy moving, but they put my item in the post and I got it yesterday.
Guess things will just have to settle for them

Doesn't look good.

Yes, they are just relocating to a smaller premises in Darra as the owner sold the building

Still "Not here.." message on the main indial. Normal practice is to put a message up saying "We are relocating and will not be trading for this period...."

No such message on their phone or website.

Where did you get your Darra info from ?

Spoke to the owner in store last week

According to the ASIC site, Gregory Machinery is in liquidation.

Very sad indeed. Looks like another long term business gone.

Makes one wonder about the legality of claims made online about a "moving sale" and buyers purchasing on the impression that they are dealing with and supporting a long established business that is likely to be around for many more years. Must admit I was tempted and was considering a few items myself. A liquidator should be well versed in what is permissible I guess.

Wow, I dodged a bullet here. I paid them $4K for a combo machine two weeks before. It arrived on 6th March, the day before the liquidation notice. I must have got one of the last things they ever shipped. Phew !

Still a ?? over warranty 🤔

That really sucks, they were really good to deal with.

Yes sad indeed, I have found them very helpful in the past.

Sadly since the COVID support ceased (Jobkeeper etc) the numbers of small business insolvencies are rising above pre-pandemic numbers. Have a look at any local or even regional shopping centers, empty shop spaces.

Noticed there are items from Gregory's at a Pickles auction starting 28th March.
