That's a shame. They were really good.

What happened? Did they go bust ?

The main man ran into paperwork problems and decided to either pause or discontinue.

That's the last I heard.

I hope they can get sorted and start making them again.

Issues with the Tax man I believe.

Oh no, Looks like you won't be seeing that again.
I think a lot of companies have fallen to the tax man, maybe it's easier to close the business than to try and salvage things.

From a conversation several years ago I think the main man is not in any 'trouble' with paperwork, it's only that with the the paperwork situation as was, and maybe as it still is, it was/is not economically sensible to continue the business's operations.

There may be other reasons - the upcoming of the Chinese stuff for example.
