Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Two former managers with Doncaster-based trailer maker Carrymaster Trailers, which went into receivership earlier this year, have set up Yorkshire Trailer Spares, their own trailer-factoring firm.

Richard Orton, purchasing manager with Carrymaster for more than 11 years, and Raymond Gittos, Carrymaster stores manager for two years and former Crane Fruehauf parts manager for 23 years, were both made redundant when Carrymaster went under.

Now, in a unit rented from British Coal Enterprises in Carcroft, Doncaster, they have set up a firm to supply parts, components and technical advice to anyone operating a Carrymaster trailer, although Orton adds: "While we have targeted Carrymaster end users we can supply most parts for any trailers."

Y'I'S is holding £15, 000-worth of stock and has accounts with BPW, Monsanto, Jost, Parlock and Northern Components, among others, for parts. The company has already supplied specialist parts for the Post Office, Safeways, Tesco, Federal Express and others and Orton promises same-day delivery when in stock.
