The retail section of the business operates with a dedicated team of employees old and new who strive on delivering the best service in the industry. Some of our staff have over 30 years in electrical retailing and our younger members have grown up with amazing technical advances and the ability to simplify and communicate these to customers has provided us with an added dimension. We have a delivery and installation team who are dedicated to getting your product to your home. We have our own warehouse which enables us to carry a large amount of items in stock at any one time. We are members of Euronics (Europe's largest electrical buying group) which means we get some phenomenal price advantages. We are also members of RETRA (The radio and electrical trade association) which provides customers who purchase from us assurance that we operate under strict codes of practice set up in conjunction with the Office of Fair Trading and the health and safety authorities.

Not assessable
Evidence ladder
Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.
Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.
Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.
Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.
No regulatory filing corroborates this yet — it is the attacker's own assertion. Watch this entity to be notified the moment a filing corroborates or contradicts it.
