A shocking experience of this company where I am being contacted by them, they are looking for a firm located a significant distance from me. They insist I am the director of a company I have never heard of and are not interested in checking companies house to verify this. I would absolutely not recommend this company and am now very concerned about the implications of this breach in data. I was assured they would contact me to discuss this yet I am still waiting for their call.
