1982 there were many problems affecting the camping and outdoor leisure industry in the seventies, some of them were ‘home grown’ through government legislation, while others were of an international nature. there was also the change in the public’s buying habits. these problems impacted on firms like the black & edgington group, giving a few years of recession. this recessional period lasted for a period of five to six years and peaked around 1979–81. pay policies imposed by the government, which were intended to limit inflation, did almost the exact opposite. with demand greatly diminished, the result for the black & edgington group was that the factories at bristol, sidcup and greenock had to be closed. the head office factory at port glasgow and the mitchell unit in glasgow were the only two which survived. it was in the middle of all these problems with closures that the board had to contend with a predator situation with regard to a small amount of equity. a very small percentage holding was sold by one of the non-executive directors to a third party, who in turn sold it to a body interested in purchasing part of the group.
