Eastex & Alexon

Despite my upbeat posts about 'Made in England' brands such as Eastex and Alexon both firms are now in severe financial straits. Eastex has been bought out and Alexon is facing 'severe funding problems'

In Luton the situation can't have been helped by the closure of Guildford Street whilst the new busway is being constructed. This has restricted access to both firms retail outlets in the town at this difficult time.
