Nic Sales
Director of Home Entertainment
I have worked with Stocks of Manchester since it was started in September 1999 and have dealt with Michael Josephson previous to that.
During the time I have worked with Michael he has never sold any of the stock into the exclusion zones. It is critical with a recognisable brand that it is not seen to be sold cheaper than the RRP. Working closely with Michael he recognises and respects this and therefore he is the only person in this industry that I would trust to work with our products.
Although Stocks of Manchester work also with our competitors in the industry they are totally discreet and trustworthy.
Gill May
Joint Managing Director
I have worked with Stocks for over 3 years and have been extremely pleased with the partnership that we have developed. They understand our market and are respectful of any requests or restrictions that we may have. I have never encountered any issues or comebacks on any of the stock that we cleared.
I would recommend Stocks to anyone looking to clear stock through channels that would not impact on their standard business.
Paul Bennett
Sales Director
We have recently started working with Stocks Manchester, and have been impressed with their understanding to be sensitive due to our existing distribution. Throughout our dealings they have respected the fact that our brands are not seen to be sold at lower prices than our suggested retail prices and have been discreet in their dealings in such that we have not had any complaints from any customers.
I am happy to say that our experience with Stocks has been positive and we would be happy to work with them in the future.
