Croydon chocolatier saved following Stuff Market Place closure
Published: 2010-05-12 09:38:54
Croydon chocolatier Tim Fisher has seen his bespoke firm's presence in the town centre saved following the shock closure of Stuff Market Place on April 30.
(Sourced from This is Local London.)
Intervention from the Croydon Economic Development Company (CEDC) ensured the chocolate maker would be setting up a new store inside Allders.
Despite doing a brisk trade before the market’s closure, Mr Fisher feared his fledgling store was be in danger of folding after receiving little help from banks to finance a move across town. But swift intervention from the CEDC saved the business.
He said: “Closing Stuff was heartbreaking for (owner) David Lashmar and the traders and I would have very much liked to carry on.
“The move would not have happened if the CEDC had not got involved and worked it through with me.
“I am very grateful for their support - I particularly valued the sensible and positive help from Keith Miller who got onto my case and moved mountains to get things done."
