Hey folks,

Thought it might be worth mentioning that it looks like tiny wargames is under new management. Not sure what this means for existing orders and I don't think I'll be ordering again but wanted to bring it up for those not on facebook

Richard has claimed once before that Tiny Wargames was under new management so I'll believe it when I see it. Nothing on the website that I could see to suggest any change. But if there has truly been a change in management then that is good news.

No thanks already burned that bridge

I thought people might like to know that I ordered an 8' x 4' mat with 4 inch square grid from Tiny Wargames last Friday (29th November). Monday I received a friendly note from Wesley saying the mat was in the post. It arrived today (Wednesday) as ordered. In the past I have had problems with Richard like many others, but I was very impressed with Wesley's customer service and will order again.

Cheers
Anthony

Thank you. I shall place them on the "some day you ought to…" list.

Sadly, for a guy with as many miniatures as I have, it's a fairly long list.

My question Anthony is how do you know that Wesley isn't Richard in disguise. The reason I ask is that tinywargames.co.uk has no information about a change in ownership/management. I would have thought that this kind of important news would be on the front page of the website. There was no notice on TMP about a change in ownership. The Facebook page is private so it can't be easily accessed. There was no "press" release of any type that I've found to corroborate any change in Tinywargames management.

Their contact address has moved from Swanley to Hull.

But they should have more contact details on their site about who they are.

Hi Marcus Brutus

Good question-I don't know who Wesley is, only that this time I experienced excellent service unlike some occasions in the past. I was also sent a discount voucher which I am keen to use!

Cheers

The curious can always go to the (freely available) Companies House registry for information in such cases:

I remember a restaurant in town changed hands recently. The quality of this restaurant had seriously eroded over the past few years. Immediately big banners went up saying "Under New Management." I'd expect to seeing something like that at tinywargames.co.uk. There is something that doesn't seem right to me. We will see.

The link from Col. Bogey shows that Richard Bailey is the current owner of Tinywargames. Hmmh.

It is perfectly possible to have sold the business without selling the limited company (in fact that is normal in the Wargames Industry).

Tiny Wargames Ltd is marked as dormant.

Marcus Brutus Supporting Member of TMP09 Dec 2024 4:15 p.m. PST

I don't disagree with that but I'd still expect some announcement on the website about the business being sold.
