Not sure if I am looking at the info correctly, but different director numbers for the 2 ltd companies and names spelt differently. One is Neill Alvey and the other Neil Alvey?

So instead of the "poor chap" new buisness, a novice, and all that, give him a chance. It seems to me he knows what he is doing/has done to everyone.

A chancer, a make money fast bloke. After all he has posted on twitter about his lovely holiday in Jan hasnt he.

To anyone defending this bloke, shame on you. I hope he gets whats owning to him, but people like this usually fall in a sewer and come up smelling of roses. In this case lets hope not.

I will watch the Suffolk Hamper company with interest and should it pop up anywhere I will make sure I add links to this and the other pages. I have family in Suffolk and I dont want them to be conned. xx

Hi there. I'm from BBC Radio Norfolk - if you're waiting for a hamper, can you give me or my colleague Sophie Price a call on 01603 614 346 please?

Wish I could but I'm working until 1300.

Hmmm......different director numbers, but same year of birth. Could this be the same person? Seems too much of a coincidence otherwise.......
But can you have different director numbers for the same person?

Yes, if you "accidentally" spell your name slightly differently or give a slightly different date of birth. Automated systems won't usually pick that up.

Hi everyone

I have been reading this and following. I ordered 30 hampers to give to all my employees. I run a small business providing residential care to kids who have had real challneges in their lives. The job can be really hard and I absolutely appreciate the hard work and commitment my team give to me and the kids we care for.

I ordered 30 hampers with most of them being delivered to individual addresses. Neil only called me a couple of weeks back to get the payment for all the extra deliveries. So not only have I paid for 30 hampers but also another £120 on top for delivery to individual houses.

If I run my business like this then it would directly effect kids and their lives and futures, I guess what Neil is struggling to grasp is his business directly effects people and the spirit of giving at Christmas.

I am wholeheartly disapooitned and only used NHC to support a small business as usually I use bigger places.

I spoke with UK Mail and nothing is out for delivery for anyone from here.

Who know what will happen next but I for one need to sort out a Christmas gift and thank you for all my people.

Hope you all have a good Christmas and a bright start to 2013.
