[Closed] Last day at CRC, the end of 7 good years!

Good luck and all the best mate 🙂

Thats the CRC customer service down the toilet then 😉

...or will there be another @CRC appearing soon?

any chance of leaving the tap running?
😀

Best of luck.
Please send my chain ring before you leave 🙂

All the best and will the guest house cater for MTBers?

Cheers for sorting my problems out Andy - Although I have to admint there have been very few compared to the amount of profit I have given CRC over the last few years 😉

Where in the SW - I live in Bovey ? is the guest house bike friendly?

Cheers

Rich

Good luck and thank you.

Good luck Andy.

If you are ever in Edinburgh come and say hi and have some beer!

All the best, and thanks for helping out on here on more than one occasion..

Good luck Andy.

Thanks guys, I'll of couirse aim to make it as bike friendly as I can!!

Cornwall is where i'm headed..be a while before any doors are opened though!

Not sure there will be another @CRC but the team I am leaving is more than capable.....

Colande, not sure the tap thing would go down well!

Good luck with the move and new business Andy.

Do me a favour before you go and tell my why my stuff has been showing "processing" for two days when all the items are in stock?
Oh and good luck 🙂

good luck Andy.

Hi Andy, you were always quick to answer my emails and reply back (rather than leave replies hanging). At one stage I actually thought you were the only person at the other end ([u]NO[/u] disrespect meant at all to the other hardworking CRC bods).

All the best and look forward to your sly ads on STW 😉

Ps, whereabouts in the Swest? Nearish Afan etc?

Best of luck andy
Make sure you let us know when and where exactly it opens...

D'oh, and here's me testing out the CRC returns process for the first time 🙄

All the best Andy 🙂

Verses you'll be fine with returns.... 🙂

Hora, not too near but close enough to get tto Afan now and then, it's been ages since I've been (used to live in Cheltenham before moving here) will be good to get there again! Oh and sly ads, I have no idea what you could possibly mean!! 😆

Ollie, you use a different email than in your profile? What's the order number?

Do you get to do a Warehouse Sweep before you go (akin to a Supermarket Sweep in a Dale Winton fashion?) That would be a nice way to go.

timbur, ha, I wish!! but er, unfortunately no... 🙁

They did however give me a new road bike last week, which totally threw me, lost for words the rest of that day! 😯

Always found you to be very helpful - good luck with living the dream pal 😀

good leaving present!

[Edit] - 'Cycle From Work' Scheme!

Road bike? They really want rid of you don't they! The insult. Did it come with a razor and a 1000 yard stare?

timbur, well i already have a mountain bike and i have been borrowing road bikes here and there for the last 12 months!

I quite enjoy the dark side, I have room in my life for both!

I look at it this way, I will get fitter so I will be able to shred faster on the hardtail!!

Best of luck Andy hope it all goes well,lifes too short not to give these things a try

Can't believe I used the word shred, i of course meant to say ride!

Ok dude! 8)

Ollie, you use a different email than in your profile? What's the order number?

3790951

See, This is what we're going to miss. :o(

Best of luck in your new venture Andy

Be sure to post up reports on your progress. I'd guess the STW collective could fill your rooms if your bike friendly enough

cheers

Verses, me too, put a returns in the post today

good luck 🙂

ALways dreamt about moving down to Cornwall and opening a B&B !

Where abouts ?

Ollie, not sure what the delay was down to but the order has shipped today for you.

You'll get the email stating that soon, if not already.

Justa, we're basing in Newquay while we find the right place, couple have come close to what we want but not quite. Big thing so we are not rushing into buying just anything.... 🙂

Hey Andy

As you know us 'fishes' are based down in sunny Cornwall too, (although only just) if you find yourself near Saltash and fancy a cuppa or better still a pedal around then give me a yell.

Cheers

Richie

Ollie, not sure what the delay was down to but the order has shipped today for you.

You'll get the email stating that soon, if not already.

Thankyou.

Hey Richie, I may well do, that or I'll see you at the Roc again one year, though probably not this year!! 😀

Andy, it'll be good to have you back over here, maybe we'll get to go ride again like the good old days!
Drop me a line when you're back and we'll head down to see you! Hope you're dog friendly too.

And just one more thing, thanks for your support with the ssec last weekend!

Andy - good luck! Hope it works out.

Ollie, I ordered some stuff from CRC this week, got no order confirmation e-mail & only the dreaded 'processing' status.
I e-mailed at the end of the next day & was told that it was all in stock and there should be no issues, with an apology for a lack of confirmation.
One of the items then popped up 'out of stock' on the site so I feared the worst but I needn't have worried as it all turned up yesterday, as it should have done. Well pleased.

I think some of the retailers like CRC shoot themselves in the foot a bit with their normally 'next day' service. When I don't receive an item 24 hrs after I have pressed the order button I start to think there must be a problem, which is ridiculous!!
Ordered Monday, arrived Thursday is still excellent customer service. But, when you are used to ordering Monday, getting on Tuesday it makes you wonder what has gone wrong. Crazy!!

Andy.

Thanks for your help over the years, you did good coming on here trying to help out. Good luck with the new business.

🙂

S.

All the best Andy.

All the best for the future Andy, but before you go...

Can you check my brother's order which has been stuck "processing" for a few days - 3789793

cheers andy you have also helped me in the past .

forget the tap but any chance of ducking a couple of joplins down the toilet .

Nice one, your living the dream mate & bestest of best of luck to you.
Be sure to update on here as well as guesthouseworld.com. 🙂

andy ,
taking the chances in life..makes it sparkling
thanks for your help a few weeks ago...
enjoy !!

Good luck Andy, if there's anything I can do to help give a give start to the new venture, let me know (see URL)...

selfishly forgot to add good luck andy

Good Luck Andy

think its shocking that its your last day and all the folk on here have got you working your arse off checking up on orders for them, you should have your feet up with tea and cake!!

(anyway on a side note it might be an idea to suggest that one of the other crc staff create a @CRC as it is good PR and very helpful for a big bike community)

All the best with that Andy, keep in touch...Mike

Hey Sheldon, will do!! and No problem with the vouchers...

Good luck, hope we do get someone else from CRC on here.

Before ye go, any chance of looking into order no. 3774639, ordered and despatched a week ago but no sign of it, wondered if you had problems with post??

Cheers.

Thanks guys,

RS4KEV looking into that for you.

Hey Mike, hows ebay??? 8)

Kojaklollipop will see about that, though kind of out of my hands.... 😕

Your order left us on the 16th with Royal Mail Just as 'that' volcano was causing bother, though 1st class should not have been affected.

Check your neighbours and the local sorting office, if nothing there and nothing by Monday give us a call and we'll get it sorted.

Wish you all the best with your new life Andy.
I don't have any orders processing so I don't need you to do anything other than enjoy your last day @ CRC

GaryLake, cheers... ashamed to say I've not come across that site before, will have to peruse it at my forthcoming leisure 😀

MrOvershoot 😆 Cheers!

All the best Andy
You have always been very helpful

Mike

Ok Andy, thanks! 😀

Andy - shout if you need any Cornwall info be it MTBing or surfing. I live 20 mins from Spewquay.

And can you pack the Green oil and Crudguard I just ordered from CRC nicely please? Cheers!

Best of luck Andy. Cornwall's gain is CRC's loss.

Even if it wasn't your official job to be their STW PR, you did a great job. Just hope they realise that and get somoebodyelse@CRC to take up the helm!

Andy, you are a top bloke. Thanx for all your help. Good luck in sunny Cornwall.

Surf_Mat, will do!

Solarider, cheers.

Pete, thanks, and best of luck with any new ranges!

Good luck Andy!

There's a few of us down 'ere in Cornwall so there'll be plenty of folk to show you round the trails (when you have time)! 🙂

orena45, that's great as apart from a few cheeky coast rides when on hols I've no clue what's about...

With the move looming the riding has taken a bit of a back seat so i'll top the old fitness levels a bit then i'll be on here most likely looking for a bit of local knowledge! 😀

Good luck Andy, will be looking out for your new profile name on STW so we can bitch about 'which tyres' etc instead of work stuff

radoggair i'll have to get the mods to change it for me to something like andynolonger@CRC!

andy - 2 things, my wife works for 'taste of the west' and used to work (sort of still does) for south west tourism, so she knows a thing or 2 about the market you are about to go into... she would be more than happy to help, contacts, info and deals on advertising etc... mail me if you want...

also.. if you want to 'shred' dartmoor, and the like, sometime, there are groups always heading out... give us a shout...

Neil, brilliant, i may call on your wifes talents though may be a little while away yet...

Have only ridden Dartmoor once and loved it so heading out would be great once I get settled and re-discover my fitness!

good luck for the future andy@CRC by the way have you changed your name by deed poll to that?
also i know we have been spoilt in the past with ultra amazing service from CRC (order before 2pm on your doormat next morning type of service ) why has it slowed down so much in comparison to say "wiggle"

voodoo_chile serious changes are in the pipeline for CRC and although I am leaving I still have enough loyalty not to spill what that is but it should give CRC some dramatic results.

I can't comment on Wiggle as I have no idea what there volumes are like now or what rate they have grown, I do know the numbers at CRC (and no I'm not telling) and i have experienced the growth of the company for myself and I fully understand what we have gone through to get where we are now.

We wish we could be perfect 100% of the time, but we are also realistic and know that is unlikely to be achieved, though this does not stop us trying!

CRC is very much like a family for a lot of the staff and it can be frustrating when things aren't right, this is why we spend so much time and investment in making CRC a better place. All of the work is aimed at you, we work hard here to deliver what you demand with delivery and price and product and service and we never stop looking to improve that.

Me leaving will not change the desire to make CRC better, a desire that is shared thoughout the staff here.

Thanks guys, Andy has left the building....

Good luck on your new life and adventure Andy.

Good luck Andy and thanks for your help and advice
All the best in what your going to do next mate 😉

Good luck Andy - all the best!

Good luck mate. Always had excellent service from CRC. Hope it don't change!

Still don't see a post from AndyNot@CRC yet!

Good luck......
