Prices starting to increase… still some special offers left.. but the next 12 months is looking expensive!
Since September 2008 there has been a huge fall in the value of Sterling on the international markets. While the Dollar and Euro remain strong the British pound’s value has plummeted on the international markets, to the point at which £100 of equipment bought into the country is now costing £145. Most importers hedge currency, buying currency ahead of time to minimise the volatility fluctuations and this helps keep the importers in business with steady trading conditions, ironing out the bumps and keeping retail prices constant. Most importers will only be able to hedge (or book currency) up to 12 months in advance, and now that they have used this all up since September they now have no choice but to pay the higher price.
OTC Tenerife reopens.
Good news from Tenerife this week as the OTC is scheduled to re-open on the 21st of January. The team was closed down by the police recently due to some council paperwork difficulties, but after some extra boxes were ticked and some media attention raised the boys have done the trick and all problems appear to have been sorted. The OTC is the worlds first multi equipment test centre (hence Official Test Centre) where you can try a large proportion of all the different product from multiple brands. It’s a fantastic place to try before you buy, with only the best equipment available.
