Being pedantic, Yard-o-Led is the name of the dormant company listed.
There is no actual company called Yard-o-Lead. I suspect a holding
company now produces the pens etc and the original company is kept
merely to protect the name, as already stated. That makes sense. I
am sure there is no expected 'demise', and have never said anything
of the sort. I cannot understand why you thought there should be.

Just an erroneous conclusion drawn from terms unfamiliar to me. I
equated "looked up Yard-o-lead Ltd on the *Companies House site* and it
filed *dormant accounts*" [emphasis added] in your original with
receivership or bankruptcy. Could you explain what the above means?

Just means the company is still alive but not trading. It therefore has
to file what are known as dormant accounts. Sorry, I expected people to
be familiar with the term when there is no reason for them to be so. I
didn't mean to insuIt your intelligence. I expect the trading is done
elsewhere within a group. As the company is still in existence, no-one
can form another company with the same name. Very important for such a
brand as that.
