Data Protection - help us to
help you fight hoaxers, practical jokes and malicious mail
We respect your privacy rights and are
registered with the Data Protection Register. We only send our
brochure or email newsletters to those people who have previously enquired
about our products, those who have purchased from us or one of the
companies we have acquired. Your name and address is retained on our
database.
It may well be that you are
the victim of a practical joke, hoax or subject to malicious mail. We
receive hundreds of calls and letters every day and try our very best to
filter out this type of abuse which amounts to just a few per week. Sadly
we cannot stop them all and we end up sending you mail or email that you
do not want and may upset or offend you. You can remove yourself from any future
mailings by contacting us by any of the methods
listed at the bottom of this page.

Future
Mailings
- Opting Out
Our brochure is
usually mailed out 4 times a year but we often write to you with special
offers or interesting deals from other parties or share our database with
other respectable and trusted companies.
If you would prefer not to receive such
mailings but are happy for us to write to you with our own offers, then
please contact us asking for your details to
be put on our "Suppression File". You can do this by any
of the contact methods below or, if you are
placing an order, telling us on the order form.
Alternatively you can remove yourself from all
future mailings by contacting us using any
of the methods listed at the bottom of this page
or, if you are
placing an order, telling us on the order form.
