Gordon, as well as running a car accessory shop in Egham, in the early days of car accessory retailing, also founded, or maybe co-founded Gordon Spice Cash And Carry. They supplied motor accessories to trade customers and, at the peak of the business, they had cash and carry depots in Staines, Watford, Canning Town and Leicester. Subsequent floatation as a PLC. And an over ambitious investment in a state of the art central distribution centre, plus changing market conditions, led to the demise of the companyt.
