Sorry, But I must put my foot down...
Godfreys OWN/Licence the name in Australia, and purchase some models from TTI, Some from Candy and some from other sources. A nameplate label on the product here in Australia on a TTI product states BOTH TTI on one and Hoover Floorcare Asia Pacific on the other - which is a company OWNED by Godfreys Group Limited, Which is the Holding company that Godfreys recently launched on the Australian Stock Exchange. TTI Australia is based in Doncaster, whereas Hoover, Godfreys, Vacspare and GFY are based in Glen Waverley. I don't dispute that some of the products are from TTI but they DO NOT hold the ownership of the name in Australia, the same as they don't in the UK.
