Subject: RE: morality of collecting
In response to "puzzled" in an earlier posting I perhaps can throw some enlightenment to the Bulmer confusion.

North Works, Hookstone Park, Harrogate is a 4(?) storey building that is home to several Bulmer enterprises.    CM Records, Music By Mail, PR Records, Loyalware etc each appear to have their HQ's here.    Each company lists its Registered Office with an accountancy firm called Weaver Wroot in Pawnshop Passage, Mercer Row, Louth.    Folk Heritage Records also appears to be HQ'd at North Works.

These companies appear to be small in the overall scheme of things and in the main accounting seems to be filed either late or with claimed small company reporting requirements.    In other words it is almost impossible to assess any profitability or otherwise.       As "puzzled" suggests it is difficult to imagine Music By Mail as being a significant income stream to its Director/Shareholders - but who knows?

Louth appears to be the hub of the Sharpley empire.    Mr Sharpley was busted in 2001 by the Law Society for several financial "indiscretions" against his clients, and he later saw fit to do the decent thing and resign as Coroner - what else could the poor chap do.

At last referencing, Mr Sharpley was listed as having Direcor/Co.Secretary status for in excess of 10 companies!!!
