I can't find any evidence on the web, but for some reason I can't stop thinking it's Gordon England. ??

Not by Gordon England - much more obscure.......
I'll keep it locked for you for one more guess.

Has this company appeared here before, or is it totally unknown?

I think MJW has been absent for some time now. I'm sure we all hope that he is well and will return soon.

He does look in regularly; he was last here on Sunday but maybe doesn't have the time to answer any questions..

Yes, more's the pity. I do hope he's OK. I came across this name last night, and thought I'd get my answer on record for any future attention. I don't have an image for my claim, but the name strikes a chord.

Last time I spoke to him he was fine and was considering a move to work in Holland, but I don't know if he ever went through with it..
