    I used them twice. Once about 20 months ago. Once about 14 months ago.

    Both transactions went very well.

    They are, so i'm told, backed by the same (similar?) people that owned CCE, so it may pay to be wary....

    The non-exec director and majority shareholder of Torfx, Victoria O'Brien (daughter of CCE's Peter Benstead) was arrested in February on suspicion of money laundering a fraud in connection with the collapse of CCE, as were five other people who have close links with Torfx and CCE.

    Make of that what you will, but I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole, no matter how long.
