Nothing at all on companieshouse.gov.uk web site,
I mailed an address there & got no reply [yet], not holding breath.
Britain perhaps more MS addicted than Germany.
(I'm in Germany though I'm British. A Linux mag publisher
told me a few years ago they had 3 or more times circulation
in Germany than Britain, (& Germanys population maybe
80*10^6, wheeas Britain 55+10^6)
