Day one - 'managing things at a distance' experiment.

I mentioned a few days ago that my biz partner was going away for 2 months.  See below.  Well he left last night and this morning he calls me from New York to say he's just had a call from the guy we sub-contract our warehousing and some of our deliveries to, to say that he's been locked out of his warehouse by his landlord for non-payment of rent.  We've been watching him for a few weeks but had got, what we thought were, some pretty watertight commitments and contingencies.  It's an interesting start to this 'managing at a distance' experiment.

  1. Latest update is we, along with another client of our warehouse-guy who had a lot more stock than us tied up behind those doors, had to give the landlord money (£2k from us) to get the doors open so we could carry on our business and get the deliveries flowing again. Not good!
