Popular Coat Hooks




I have to say my customers are a smart 'bunch'. They select just the type of hooks that I would select. Only trouble is, stocks keep running low and so we have to order in
advance so as not to be caught short of popular lines. In our business, to be economic,
one has to buy from the usual candidates...namely India and China. The time to receive the goods varies enormously. Sometimes for example in India when the outside temperature
soars to over 40 degrees, the producers have to cope with the extra heat from their work.
My goodness it must be difficult. To think that the coat hooks have been wrought into existence under such trying circumstances, makes one think! Our Chinese suppliers have problems and issues of their own to cope with, but we persevere. How infinitely preferable it would be to make the goods in the UK. This is not my doing but the culmination of economic evolution over the decades. Let's hope for a better balance to
economic activity in the years ahead. So far I don't see much sign of that, but on the contrary every sign of tension and mounting problems. Just a minute, this is a coat hook blog, not an examination of navels! Sorry. Lets see which hooks we have recently sent out...
