I haven’t been able to find a link to John Ritchie on their website.

Elsewhere, however: Precious Seed: Lord’s Work Trust.

Unfortunately,I’ve already lost half of my already part time job leaving me without enough earnings to live on.

This happened due to losses our Independant Bookshop has made, which IMO happened because STL made a decision to implement their disastrous IT upgrade which left them unable to supply product for us to sell to our customers at our busiest time of the year causing the losses which have resulted in a disastrous change of my circumstances.

As an employee of STL for nearly 18 years I’ve been as anxious as anybody for news (ideally the news that my job and those of my colleagues has been secured!) but there is the recognition that the sale of a multi-million-pound business requires due process. I can’t say it’s been fun waiting but it’s done wonders for my prayer life!

Look out for Monday’s press release – if it’s not brought forward…
