Wow ! Sent me a 20kg parcel of highly confidential research information (in a Lathwaites wine box!), addressed to someone else. Couldnt get hold of anyone at the company to arrange collection. Highly unprofessional.

Never used them or asked for information about their services yet I get many emails daily. Their unsubscribe system will only let me remove my email ( they have used a fake name so as to get to our domain) by giving them another email and another chance of spam.
