Silverjet emails agents its sad news
May 30, 2008
Entitled 'Some sad news . . .', this is what Silverjet is sending out to travel agents. The message is from Ann-Maria Stacey, Silverjet's corporate sales manager.
I really hope this hits your email before you read it or hear it from anyone else, but I'm really genuinely upset to tell you that unfortunately we have not been able to come to an agreement with our potential new investor and have had no choice but to suspend operations this morning and appoint an administrator who will take over the running of the company from later today.They are trying to develop a rescue package but as you hopefully know I like to be honest with you, and I am not sure if that will have any chance of happening, but we will know for definite in a few days, I will of course keep you updated on this, but in the meantime all Silverjet employees duties have officially come to an end today. However if you need me please do call me or email me and I will do the best I can to help you.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support not only to Silverjet but also to me. The aviation industry is a tough one but rising fuel prices and the economy just worked against us. I have enjoyed working with everyone of you and have some very fond memories, of hard work, determination and laughs and cries and definitely made some good friends along the way. That could only have happened by you believing in us and supporting us and that Silverjet really do have to thank you for.For those of you who know me very well you are all aware that I am extremely passionate about Silverjet, as were my colleagues, so it's a really upsetting time for us all this morning so I'm sorry I have not been able to call you all individually but please feel free to call me this morning if you need to speak to me, if not I will try and give you a call later this afternoon.
Sorry it's short and sweet but it's really hard to know what to say.
