There was a thread running on the ModelEngineers website forum, Ketan the owner, publicly announced he was retiring.
A buyer for the existing business has not been successful, so all the stock is either sold or being sold at reduced price.

At least the business has not become a victim due to our govt pressures.

If you buy from them on a regular basis, as part of your ordering process, you will have been offered the opportunity to have your details added to their mailing list.

If you have declined this offer, the only way they can contact you is by unsolicited commercial email (more commonly known as spam). Arc do not engage in this underhand practice. You cannot criticise them for respecting the privacy you yourself have requested.
