Samuel Gawith have recently issued a press release to their Facebook page, adressing the ongoing rumours about their supposed imminent demise, of course not true. Due most likely to my own incompetence, I am unable to link to that announcement. So, if you follow their page on Facebook you will be able to read it for youself.

I have posted it here.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co official press release (Samuel Gawith is a brand of our company).
