I have sacrificed the requisite £1, and he is indeed listed as a director, appointed 17/6/1998. There is a long list of documents at
Companies House that makes the company look quite legitimate. No-one would file forms for 12 years for nothing, would they?
Well, like I was (sort of) saying, by "fake" I mean "actually doing business, in the business they say they're in." Lots of companies exist only on paper, sometimes just as money drops or as fronts for questionable operations of various kinds. The point is, they've got the same mail-drop address and phone number as all the other companies - just because they're the one that's actually registered doesn't mean they're a real company in the formal sense of the term.
For all I know, the shoddy, terrible writing on the website may be intentional, to fool casual visitors into thinking they're a legitimate business while, at the same time, turning away real potential customers, who are likely to be unimpressed with their "message." Obviously I'm speculating, though.
The only other company in England that manufactures "cable-labeling systems" and comes up on Google results for it is
Silver Fox Ltd., if anyone needs a point of comparison. It might be interesting to learn why Binmore (and whoever else might be part of his group) would choose this sort of business, but then again, it might not.
