RE: CAT5 stuff sourcing?

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxx>]

Hi troops,

I have been looking for some data racking for a while now, I have found a
distributors we deal with north of Peterborough, a manufacturers north of
Cambridge and a company called Videk based in Kingsbury Road London
www.videk.co.uk selling beautiful cabinets but I think expensive.

I have asked the company north of Peterboro' to contact me when they get
some used items in, maybe if we bulk buy we can "do a deal"?
anyone
interested?

Sorry to be vague on the top 2 companies, I left the details in the office
and I'm working on site in Milton Keynes for the next 2 days, oops.

B.


PS. Phil, if you see this can you reply direct to me at home, I still seem
to be having problems getting my postings through.

Thanks for your patience folks.
