Yes indeed. I looked up Yard-o-lead Ltd on the Companies House site
and it filed dormant accounts last year, so must just be kept to
protect the name now.


Could it be because the proper spelling is Yard-O-Led with no "a" in
led? While I know nothing of the Y-O-L financial status, the Writing
Equipment Society (UK) commissioned a hallmarked silver FP to
commemorate its 25th anniversary. Orders were due by the end of June
with delivery expected in October. Nothing has been said about a
pending demise of the company. Of course this doesn't mean that
something hasn't happened.

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.
