Some "expected" responses to the subject from certain posters.
It was most certainly not "just a call from KT" that influenced the change of heart from the JV partner. Goodwill works in partnership with WNC and the UON to name just two interested parties.
For those who are not aware and have not researched just what this company does, take a look here....
https://goodwillsolutions.co.uk/I do agree with Peter on a number of points though. I'm not going to pretend that this would have all gone through smoothly even if the partnership between Goodwill and the Trust came to fruition. There were still many obstacles to overcome, I have alluded to those in the past, just as Peter does in his post.
The annoying thing for me was to have not even got to that point, having gone from a good plan, through meetings with the Chairman of Goodwill (who I must add has been more than cordial and accommodating during these conversations) to a point where the plug was pulled in such a short period of time due to those outside pressures mentioned.
Yes I did know a little bit about goodwill solutions but thank you for placing the link - it is unfortunate because I agree although the logistics aspect is a bit dry it does seem a company with a community concience and one that might have been a great partner going forward.
I'm still a bit puzzled how UON or WNC could have strongly influenced the short notice pull out but I guess these are aspects we will never really know.
