Shamelessly ripped from Frothers.....
If you pop by here Bob, please let me offer my condolences and best wishes to you and Jackie for the future.
Hello Frothers,
Some of you may already know from the announcement on our website that my father died recently, this sad event comes on top of a long and difficult year for me on a personal level. All this has had a powerful effect on me and as a consequence I have decided to make some changes to my life, one of them being to end my commitment to Olleys Armies and sell off all its ranges. I have throughly enjoyed making models for Olleys Armies and had great ambition to keep adding to the ranges, but sometimes life gets in the way of your plans and plans have to change. I will not be leaving the industry as a freelance designer, although I am limiting the amount I do at the moment. For the future I hope to keep a website going and occasionally sell my own master greens or custom built models, directly from it.
Regards the wind down of Olleys Armies, we will cease selling castings from the website after 19th May and on the 20th May we will release details of the closed bid auction schedule.
Finally we would like to give a special thanks to all our customers who have generously supported us over the years and our sincere hope is that all the ranges will be bought by other companys/individuals and will continue to be produced well into the future.
thanks for reading, Bob Olley
