A couple of press releases found quote one James Holland as being the MD of Co-op Electricals e.g. http://www.thenews.coop/story/1795 but not sure if that`s Co-operatives E-Store Limited or some other bit of Co-op that runs the "real" shops.

This LinkedIn profile says he's MD of Co-operatives E-Stores:

I say list the MD`s number.

I think you should do what you suggest. Fully justified. Pity, tho, that it will be his secretary who will have to field the calls; she should put them all straight thru to him!

Dave, you may be interested to know that a very harassed-sounding man from Electrical123 FINALLY rang me at 7 yesterday evening! He apologised, but said that they "do not have any number apart from the 0845 one!! I couldn't shift him on this, so he is either a very good liar, or he is very thoroughly brainwashed! But I cannot believe that the Coop is clever or deviant enough to brainwash their staff! Perhaps James Holland, Managing Director, controls his staff by remote control!
I'm giving up!! I shall shop elsewhere. Cry

Thanks. I have listed the number for the MD's office with annotation to that effect.
