It appears from the companies house site that the company has only ever posted dormant company accounts - which are only supposed to be used if the company has not traded during the year.

If the company has traded then there is a filing issue - which while incorrect does not in itself mean that the company is not supplying goods to customers but they may be liable to financial penalties under companies legislation.

Whether an individual can trade personally when they are at the same time a director of a dormant company is a question above my pay grade, my not being a lawyer.

I wanted to check that I had the right company before mentioning that, Nick

… does anyone have a formal invoice with the Company number on it ?

I have never beeen succesful in purchasing anything from them. Their 'HQS' is a mystery and I suspect that they are a UK back-street outlet for a Far East factory. Their premises don't look particularly inviting!

In my experience Tap and Die Company are a reputable company, selling good material.

Don't think that they are a back street, "knock 'em out cheap" company. FAR from it.

They supply industry, with well known and respected brands, such as Totem.

If their products are good enough for Rolls Royce, they are good enough for me!

I have always been satisfied with the Taps, Dies and boxes bought from them. (I have BSW, BSF, UNF and ME40 boxes on the shelf ) and Perkins Heritage Group have bought from them.

Look at their website to see if they have what you want.

Did you ring the correct number, 020 - 8888 -1865? If amything, I have had problems ending the conversations!

According to the website, they open again at 0900 on Thursday 24th August.

I've a few of their HQS dies and they work well. Mine came via Tracey tools which many here seem to recommend.

Could also be holiday time and you got through to someone just holding the fort and processing web orders who may not know much about the products so unable to answer queries
