I recently bought a Rooney Heritage Stubby 1. No complaints at all, it's a lovely brush. Possibly the best brush I own.
However, despite living in London, about 4 miles from Walthamstow where last last known registered office for Rooney was, I had to buy this brush from Fendrihan in Canada. The only resellers I could find were in North America.
Don't get me wrong, Fendrihan were great. But isn't it ridiculous that to get the brush, it had to first be shipped from the UK to Canada and then back to Camden Town? A 4 mile journey as the crow flies but a few thousand miles in actual terms... Surely there is a massive gap in the market for a UK dealer? Or even for a European dealer?
I'm well aware that Rooney, as a company, was wound up about 6 years ago. I have checked the companies house record. My only guess is that the director(s) (be it Lee Sabini or whoever else) now run the business as a sole trade or as a partnership. But notwithstanding that, it is simply bizarre than one cannot buy a supposedly British made product in Britain..?

Rooney - why no European dealers?
