We opened our first ebay shop in 2005 in an industrial unit above a bicycle shop in Glastonbury, primarily selling Scalextric to the public at affordable prices. We were able to offer low prices through splitting sets and keeping our overheads as low as possible.
In our 2nd year of trading we won eBay's award of 'Fastest Growing UK Business'. Later that same year we took over the whole of the industrial unit and with the extra warehouse space gained, we added the Hornby range of products to our inventory, shortly followed by other brands such as Brio wooden toys & Britains Die cast models.
After trading successfully for 3 years, space was again getting tight as we continued to expand our product base and also our stock holding. We began to search for larger premises and in April of 2008 we moved the business in its entirety to its current home in the cathedral city of Wells in Somerset, the much more modern building enabled us to set our picking and packing operations out in a much more efficient system. Once again we added further products, all brands that are well known with the high quality standards expected by our customers. Airfix, Corgi, Sylvanian Families, Meccano & Playmobil are stocked in large quantities, not just the best sellers but entire ranges. Space was omnce more becoming hard to find and it was decided that the warehouse had to be extended and work is currently underway to extend it to 6,500 sq ft, completion is due at the end of July 2010. In 2009 we achieved No 1 Status on ebay for Toys and Games sold.
We currently trade on eBay, Amazon and also through our 2 websites, www.jadlamracingmodels.com and www.jadlamracingmodels.co.uk . Very shortly the greatly revised & improved .com site will be available.
