Hmm bit dodgy I say considering how attached they are to APR in USA.

Surprised Revo have done this deal and made them a dealer.

JKM are dealers for both APR and Revo (and also Bluefin) and there doesn't appear to be a conflict.

However, I thought that Awesome were virtually the UK's main APR dealership and enjoyed a particularly close relationship. Unofficially, the word on the street is that there is a history of shall we diplomatically say 'rivalry' between APR and Revo and this might raise questions. However, Awesome are free to sell whoever's products they prefer.

Seeing how well Awesome are established, I'd say that this latest appointment is another feather in Revo's cap as well as potentially increasing Awesome's business. The only ones to potentially lose are APR.

Their website does seem to have dropped APR products all together though - and only last week they were heavily advertising the price reductions on their maps.

....No doubt that either of the two rivals APR and Revo, would prefer for purely commercial reasons that the other's products are dropped! Such is the world of competitive business.

For my part, I prefer Revo but APR would probably be my second choice.

Now that is interesting. APR Europe which operated out if same site as awesome has been dissolved too!!

So no conflict at all now! Massive REVO banner too!

Why have they not made an announcement tho??

Hope JKM don't drop Revo and become the new main APR agent!!
