Odd situation, you would have thought that they would have had someone else lined up before finishing with them.

The labels are pretty boring but some of the profiles I saw a couple of weeks ago looked very nice, bit pricey for a new brand however.....

From their website / Trade / UK:

Please let me know by November 15th of any cricket bat deliveries required before Christmas so we may deliver beginning of December. Place your order via email. A catalogue of the 2011 range is currently being prepared, and will be emailed to you as soon as it is available. We are in the process of finalizing a new Distributor for the complete Bradbury cricket range, and hope to confirm in the New Year of the changes. If you know of your 2011 delivery requirements, please notify me so that we can make a smooth transition into launching for the new season ahead. Please feel free to discuss your requirements and notify via email (with your contact number) if you wish a phone call from myself or Paul. We appreciate your support during the transition. All trade enquiries for the UK should be directed to Bradbury Cricket (Aust), Mrs Sally Bradbury at bats@bradburycricket.com
