With all the web media coverage going on, I thought I'd give T&T a call myself. I'm an owner of a few T&T rods and wanted to be sure that if one of them broke, I'd have some recourse.

Press Release
Thomas & Thomas Rodmakers Inc<O</O
In the past two weeks we have undergone a series of issues relating to our building in Greenfield which have coincided with some severe weather and a planned holiday. The severe weather knocked our phones and internet down and as a result our service level has not been at our usual high level for which we apologise to all our customers worldwide.
<O</O
This coming week we will be getting our process back up and running and it will take a little time to get back to our full capacity.

In the midst of this disruption to normal service, Iain Parker has decided to return to the UK for personal reasons a little ahead of the original plan. I wish to thank Iain for his valued service to the business and know he will continue to be a longstanding friend to the brand and the rod builders in Greenfield where in his short time he established some lasting friendships.
<O</O
From March 1, I will take full control of the brand and it’s global activities. Tom, Erika and the crew will report to me directly on all matters. <O</O
We have some exciting new products in process which we will have available in the coming months and I look forward to leading this prestigious brand to the levels of performance it deserves.<O</O
