but please confirm that they actually do have a workshop and people are working there.

This being the case, there will be an invoice associated with the goods containing the suppliers details including the Registered Company Address, Co. Reg No. and VAT No.?
Has anyone ever seen an invoice from Mr. Sabini (M&F) or Rooney?
Or do they just take money with no visible paper trail? That being the case, I'm sure it would pique the interest of HMRC ...

Wouldn't they also be interested in making sure "Made in England" is in fact made in England?
I know the US takes that very seriously. Although our standards for made in the USA is very specific and very high. Even assembled in the US is a higher standard.

Canuck said:I think the one thing that we do know is that Rooney aren't a company per se any longer, probably just a brand name only now, applied to some good brushes made by someone who doesn't want to discuss the detail. Ho hum.
They're good quality, I think we're agreed on that.
Mark Watterson said:I'm suspecting this might be a veiled comment regarding our brushes being manufactured on the Isle of Man?
You have actually PM'd in this regard have you not?
I'm not quite sure that the few miles of sea between us & England makes that much of a difference but people will vote with their hard earned on that point - so far, we seem to have been 'lucky'.
Our location has never been concealed in an effort to deceive or distract - Generally, the shaving aficionado & fraternity know their onions. They are a well versed and researched group.

As a side, our Taxes and National Insurance contributions are paid directly to the Isle of Man Government who in turn have a revenue sharing arrangement with HMRC.
Death and taxes, nothing more sure in life.
Our location also gives us quite a disadvantage in manufacturing costs - carriage prices are extortionate and we must ship everything effectively twice to the UK / GB being an Island.
We are held to ransom slightly by the local sea carrier but that's life.
