The directors of Clearwater Hydrotherapy have broken their silence about the closure which has left many of their clients and suppliers out of pocket.
Directors Leanne and Chris Morris cite difficult dealings with tradespeople and problems with previous staff for the company’s financial woes, culminating in a major investor pulling out and leaving the future uncertain.
In an email to former staff, seen by The Courier, the directors said: “Despite our attempts to drive the company forward, our landlord has now pulled the plug on any options that we had and we are left with no alternative but to cease trading.
“We appreciate you have wages outstanding but as we have ceased trading we are unable to carry out any transactions as we have a duty as company directors.
“We do expect back lash from customers.”
Customers of Marketgait-based Clearwater Hydrotherapy were informed on Tuesday night that the business has shut its doors for good.
An update posted on the company’s Facebook page has attracted a mix of reactions.
As well as a warm water pool, it also offered float beds and a hydro jet massage bed.
The pool ran popular parent and toddler swimming classes.
Customers had booked and pre-paid for classes and fear they may not get their money back.
The couple state they will make efforts to organise alternative arrangements for people who have already paid.
