The corporate sales side of their business started going downhill in 
about 1995 when they fired Hans Retz. The best store used to be MK, 
particularly when Stuart Moore and Chris Fella were working there on 
Saturdays :-(

I bought about 500 PCs from Evesham over the space of three years in the 
early 90s (as part of my job, obviously - I don't have THAT many PCs at 
home :-) )

I've not used them since about 2000, since I'd seen them progressively 
get worse.
