Pretty sure it closed under a cloud some time ago. I think some of them started another business. But I don't know about the owner.

Yes, was owned by a guy called Chris King.
I bought an SX200 off them about 8 years ago, they were doing well and launched the cobra dealer specials. Something went wrong with the business though and it all ended in tears. I think the guy did his best to try and sort things out but there was a lot of flack when it all went wrong.

Don't know who's running what's left of the business (if it's still going) but I don't think it's on the same scale
