They certainly are crummy and indeed are clueless when it comes to any legal matter a friend of a friend had a run in with them them!!! it transpires that the residential address (according to companies house records)of one of the directors Andrew Barclay is also at the said office address... if you ever saw the building (the pits) you would know that this is wrong.... thy obviously have a lot of money though as there are lots of expensive cars outside during the day... erm I wonder how they have managed that? Andrew Barclay by all accounts appears to be a slimy little wanker with very little in the way of moral fibre or indeed scruples.
