I dont know which one is right !
From the company's
contact page:

We will be set up in the new unit from Monday 14th May ready to deal with your queries.
Yell.com gives the 0870 number for Francis Avenue. A check of 192.com for this address yields nothing much, apart from the fact that at 247b resides St Francis Garage and Martin Harland Car Sales.
BT Directory Enquiries shows nothing for either addresses.
Whois datakits.co.uk gives another clue:

Who/what is Walco International?
A Google of
walco international reveals, apart from a company Incorporated in US with that name that deals in animal health products, this one:

When you go to
www.walcointernational.co.uk, it takes you to an eBay shop which doesn't exist. A look at the source code of Walco's page reveals it's:
http://www.stores.ebay.co.uk/walcointernationalSo with them being in the same line of business, I think that they are the same Walco International.

A look back on the
Internet Archive of Walco's shop on eBay (see
http://www.stores.ebay.co.uk/walcointernational]here[/url]) reveals that it disappeared off eBay in January 2005. A look at the shop when it was there reveals that it was maintained by a member called w4lco who is no longer a registered eBayer. The shop had the Datakits.co.uk logo on, so it's definately them.
You don't know Mike's surname then? A Google of
"walco international" mike reveals the name Mike Reeder. A Google of
datakits mike reveals the same name. Also Google
"data kits" mike. The latter brought up
this result as the first one.
A check of names on the Electoral Roll using 192.com for Reeder within GU31 4?? reveals two Reeders, both called Michael! These are shown on the historical Electoral Roll only, so possibly moved. Indeed, one is from 2004 only (this one has a middle initial, J), and the other from 2002 (no middle initial).
From 2004 to 2007 there have been no Reeders in the Portsmouth area on the Electoral Roll.
Another tale on Pricerunner about Datakits
here. This mentions Helen Young being a director, as well as Mr Reeder. Helen Young was living with Mr Reeder in 2004, according to 192.com.
See another story on Pricerunner
here (see bottom of page) confirms what 192.com says which is that Mr Reeder's current address is:
9 Frensham Road
Southsea
PO4 8AD
The 2007 Electoral Roll shows he lives there with Ms Young. For some reason they are ex-directory.
Some pages mention people leaving messages on BT1571. Assuming that they've called the 0870 number, I guess that it goes through to a residential line, with it having 1571 on. Daves, you say you've called it, does it answer with BT 1571?
I'll let you pick the bones out of that. Someone might like to continue where I left off, and find a direct number for either Reeder or Young.
