Default John Leaves Wheels World

Very sad to say, and I really hope John doesnt mind me putting it up on here as I am sure the motorsport community will find out very soon anyway, but today sees then end of an era.

It wasnt voluntary and I dont think they were very nice in what they done and the way they approached it. I only spoke to him briefly but I would love to see him take all the business from there and take it to somewhere he will hopefully be in the future. All that experience and knowledge gone, lets hope its not for to long.

Hope to see you back in the business again soon mate

Pretty shit if he got shunted, hopefully he's got a shoe in for a deal to sell some rcomps.

One reseller of A050s in Perth sucks balls.

When will businesses learn it the people who do the work that makes a place a success, not the bricks and mortar.

Not sure, and only speaking off the top of my head, but there is a new race gear shop opening tomorrow, selling tyres, and may have room for such experience, I hope wishing.

Will be checking it out tomorrow for some Targa West gear. First day sales and all...
They look like they're part of Performance West.

Spewing to hear John will no longer be at WW. I hope he continues on in the industry and is able to bring the level of customer service to either whichever shop he works in, or perhaps his own shop if he goes that way.

The famous phrase "Go see John @ WW" will not be uttered again

Here's hoping that it will soon be "Go see John @ ........"

It's a real shame when helpful knowledgeable people get moved out when the shite ones still keep their jobs.

I've had no dealings with this guy but if he's as good as this thread states, kick him in the nuts and start a crowd funding project Pozible | Crowdfunding Creativity
