Does anyone know anything about this company?

They started a large scale projector installation for us before Christmas and now, with only about 6 installs to go, we haven't seen any more of them!

Emails are not being responded to, and I cannot get in contact with the appropriate person by phone.

Has anyone else had any dealings with these people or know anything about them?

If he is in a meeting permanently and does not ring back ask to speak to his manager.
Not heard anything but definitely stop payment until they complete the job. Nothing gets the running faster then the thought of being paid

Brilliant! Don't contact them again, or give them any excuse to remember who you are, looks like you're on target for a bunch of free kit...

We have had lots of trouble with that company. Restocking free is £50. I hope they are gone for good.

Good luck jwood.

In 4 years of very low-cost and relibable products and services we've only ever had one problem with this company (regarding IWB installation), which was eventually sorted out.

Must be the manager at the place closer to ours or something. Or just our luck!

I hate that company. I get so many sales calls / emails.. drives me nuts!!

The "always in a meeting" thing sounds dodgy. I wouldnt pay up until the job is complete.

I do know that one of the sales people that I have dealt with in the past now works for another ICT provider so they may have folded im not sure.

There are some discussions about the company in the Similar Threads section at the bottom of this page.
