Basingstoke-based Frontline Distribution Ltd is under notice from Amstrad Plc for not meeting Amstrad’s criteria of energy, commitment and success: Frontline has been an Amstrad distributor for about three years (back to the days when it was known as First Software) and has recently dropped Amstrad’s PCW and portable products in favour of concentrating on the high end of company’s personal computer range – Amstrad, however, is not convinced that Frontline has the necessary commitment for such products (after all the buck for those nasty results has to stop somewhere); Frontline had no comment and is awaiting the return of chairman John Weatherhead on Thursday before making a statement – but it stands to lose half of its turnover from Amstrad’s decision.
