Auto Windscreens goes bust - Who was it?

The writing has been on the wall for a long time for them, they have always been playing catchup with Autoglass and in recent years have been passed from pillar to post, they were even owned by the RAC at one point, most of their origional IT team were people from within the business who knew what a computer looked like their origional head of IT was promoted from a Branch Manager

Well cracks in the company have been showing in the company for a while. But one has to wonder if it started with just a chip

Does this mean I have to take Gavin from Autoglass up on his offer to fill my crack with his special resin?

Call themselves a windscreen repair company, one crisis and they can't paper over the cracks

Facepalm

Ex Team Process Analyst Zippy McFlappy added 'If we hadn't spent so much time posting on the internet then maybe one of us would have noticed that he hadn't actually understood the requirements. How were we supposed to know they fixed windscreens, we assumed that those were the ones used on the beach on a breezy day'

Richard Cranium, previous project manager at Auto Windscreens was reportedly checking his PI insurance to see if it ran to £68 million.

"A spokesman for the administrators DELOITTE said: "It's essentially being mothballed."

Deloitte blamed delays in implementing a new IT system and a poor end to 2010.

A source told The Sun: "They'll say it was down to problems with IT systems but it was badly mismanaged from the very top." "
