WHEN we started our business some 25 years ago, F R Stubbs in Fossgate was one of our first local customers ('New owners moving Stubbs to a new site', April 5).
As our company developed into the national supply of pub and restaurant furniture, the roles became reversed, and we became regular customers of theirs. From our first ventures into this market-place, the help and advice from Stubbs' very capable and patient staff has always been appreciated.
It has been a pleasure doing business with such a courteous and knowledgeable organisation, and it will be greatly missed by a great many people and companies in York.
It has to be said, though, that the relocation of F R Stubbs is not entirely surprising - not least in view of the seemingly relentless determination with which the city council have rendered it more and more difficult even to reach the premises - let alone risk parking. We feel this has been a disgraceful state of affairs.
