Can you show me any page on your website which contains that information, as required by the Companies Act?

I've just searched and can't see it anywhere on there.

I've got the domain details and registrant's address ... want them?

EDIT: Domain is registered to the same (private) address as the company's registered office: simple job to look on the land registry and get the name of the propert owner

EDIT: It's definitely not available, it's registered. I sometimes find tat whois.net isn't very good for .co.uk domain names
