    Have a look at some major UK retailers websites for example amazon.co.uk, tescos, sainsburys.

    Minimum information to be provided
    Service providers, whether involved in e-commerce or not, should provide the following minimum information, which must be easily, directly and permanently accessible:
    • The name of the service provider must be given somewhere easily accessible on the site. This might differ from the trading name and any such difference should be explained – e.g. "XYZ.com is the trading name of XYZ Enterprises Limited."
    • The email address of the service provider must be given. It is not sufficient to include a 'contact us' form without also providing an email address.
    • The geographic address of the service provider must be given. A PO Box is unlikely to suffice as a geographic address; but a registered office address would. If the business is a company, the registered office address must be included in any event.
    • If a company, the company's registration number should also be given.
    • If the business is a member of a trade or professional association, membership details, including any registration number, should be provided.
    • If the business has a VAT number, it should be stated – even if the website is not being used for e-commerce transactions.
    • Prices on the website must be clear and unambiguous. Also, state whether prices are inclusive of tax and delivery costs.

    I suspect you might find some contact information useful...

    Doesn't have to be in a footer, mine's in a separate page labelled "About".
