Yeah - but post was dead and could not add...

I had rung the 0800 number and got a weird response saying it was a;; "frozen" as far as service goes but the company is still trading...

Is it for sale? If so how much?

"Trading"? I just visited their site to check how things are going, and the registration page now returns a 404. Certainly "trading" means supplying goods and services, but without clients?

A few weeks ago, I contacted Reach to chase a very small debt that they owe to the company that I work for. I contacted them through their 0800 number and was later referred to their accountant. The debt got paid in the end, and neither of the people who I spoke to said anything about the business being wound up, but I got the impression that they're no longer expecting contact from existing or prospective customers.
