Greys factory shop

Had a look today.
They have a few mk2 13' Orions for only £75.
Bargain for such a good rod.

not just a shop its got a museum of all the old hardy gear you can look around

Its in The Northumberland Gazette today that Hardy/Greys are being bought out by an American firm. It appears that there will be job losses from the Bosses down to the shop floor/factory lads, all very sad.

The American firm Pure Fishing has bought Hardy/Greys. They are a huge global tackle distributer and already have several other well known brands like Penn, Abu and Shakespeare.
There are ten jobs being made redundant which is a real shame not least because it's a North East company with a great heritage.
It's well worth a look at the shop as the museum is very interesting and there is often some good deals on rods and clothing.
