Happy 2010!
(18th January, 2010)
Firstly, a happy new year to all collectors out there. And if you've ordered from me recently, an especially happy new year to you!
I've just added around 150 more items to the website, including various Wade club models, Pocket Pals, Sherwood Forest models, many more whimsies, and a few older bits. Be sure to have a browse around and see what's new.
I had intended to make this update a bit sooner but a prolonged bout of flu over Christmas meant I couldn't do the work on the site I was intending to, which kind of hampered progress.
A few people have been asking about Irish Wade and why there isn't much on the website. Do not fear - I still have a large quantity in stock, and it will be listed soon. The amount of Wade currently listed on the site is only about half of what's available, but the rest will appear in the coming months.
Cheers all,
Ben

Welcome to the new and improved benswade.co.uk!
(1st December, 2009)
Hello! If you're a regular visitor to the website, you'll notice that it's had quite a major overhaul recently!
The old website was looking a bit dated after five years, and considering the huge amount of Wade I have for sale, I took the decision to redesign the whole site from the ground up.
In the process, numerous improvements have been made, the main ones being:
I've developed the new site single-handedly, which is one of the reasons it's taken so long to complete. Over the next few weeks I'll be adding much more to it, including some articles and guides on collecting Wade and many, many more Wade items!
Lastly, my apologies to all the collectors who have contacted me over the past few months wanting to know when I'm going to update the website. I hope you find the wait worthwhile.
Enjoy your visit!

In the process, numerous improvements have been made, the main ones being:
- Orders can now placed through the website with no need to email to check availability
- Payment can now be made using Paypal directly from the website (cheque option also available)
- Automatic currency conversion so you can pay in your preferred currency.
- A new webhost that (fingers crossed) actually keeps the site up!
- Technically much better - no frames, a faster database, better code, etc.
- A much improved look.
