I have found the email from Whitby:

We are writing to inform you of a change to the Leatherman UK Website. As you may know, Whitby & Company are the sole UK Distributor for Leatherman products and we have been for over 25 years. On behalf of the Brand, we have operated the UK website for Leatherman. This Leatherman UK website is no longer active and from Monday (16th January 2023) the brand will be taking control of a UK website via its EU headquarters in Germany. This means that any purchases made from now will be supplied directly to you from the Brand in Germany.

This change will bring some benefits to you, as certain products that haven’t been available to purchase in the UK before such as apparel and customised tools, will now be available.*

We would like to say a massive thank you for your loyal support and custom over the years. You can continue to purchase Leatherman products directly from us in the UK via our other websites - Whitby & Co and Berry. Both of these websites can offer you 24hr and 48hr delivery options.*

To thank you for your loyal custom we are pleased to offer you a one-time use discount code on either of the above websites. Simply add the code LOYAL20 at checkout to receive your 20% discount.
