#SDL
Yes, it is Prodis plc (trading as SDL UK and Silica) which has gone into
administration.
The company and the shops are currently trading as normal while the
administrators (Casson Beckman & Partners 0171-387 2888) try to save Prodis
from liquidation. I suppose some of the Silica Shops may have to close.
SDL/Silica's business was mainly Amiga. Commodore got into trouble. Amiga stuff
stopped selling. SDL/Silica decided it needed another line. It chose the wrong
console. It got into severe cashflow problems.
However, if Amiga sells well, SDL/Silica should pull through. It's a decent
company with decent management, well worth saving, so my guess is that most
people will want to help rather than hinder the rescue attempt. ATUK is
certainly not running scared.
