DJB Financial - Still offering high interest bonds

Many companies registered address is in fact the address of their accountants. So nothing is proved by it being a nondescript office building in the !!!!!! end of Southport.
Not that I'm sticking up for them, because this has scam written all over it.0 -
OK, can you find the name of the accountants who operate from First Floor, 125-127 Manchester Road, Southport, PR9 9BD?Zorillo said:Many companies registered address is in fact the address of their accountants.

colsten said:According to Companies House, the prestigious offices of DJB Financial are on the 1st floor of 125-127 Manchester Road, above the [permanently closed?] offices of Legal Heroes. They are registered as an Advertising Agency and seem to be run by a husband and wife team, David John Brenkley (age 32) and Michelle Brenkley (age unknown).
Mr. Brenkley has previously been a Director of now dissolved companies Travel Repay Ltd ("Other service activities not elsewhere classified"), Tailored Direct Ltd (Pension funding), and Switch and Flick Ltd (Energy brokerage).
As is usual (?), the company can conveniently be reached via 2 London phone numbers - 0207 846 0185 and 0203 488 4131.
He seems to have been a director of Tailored Direct Ltd for less than a month, and of Switch and Flick Ltd for under three months. Is this normal for a director? Or does it just mean the companies he directs arn't very successful?

No, not at all, but I was just mentioning that they included the correct address on the website, despite the London telephone number.colsten said:
Did you think I made that up?GDB2222 said:Well according to their website terms and condition, their address is indeed 125-127 Manchester Road, Southport, Merseyside PR9 9BDNo reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
The company's registered office has an interesting history

Not that I'm implying there is any any link between a struck off solicitor and DJB Financial.0
