Hi folks, I'm Douglas, sole proprietor of Clearwater Work and Leisure aka Clearwater Army Surplus Store
At the end of September 2009 whilst I was at Florida for my 50th, my warehouse at Shawfield was burgled (they came in through the roof). Eventually via the insurance ombudsman I received a paltry payment from insurers. The payment came far too late and the recession had really kicked in. My regular customers were out of work and sales slid by % in three years
My warehouse contained £75,000 of Gore-Tex gear from Britain, France Germany and Holland - jackets, trousers and boots plus so
