Who are Brush Colour?

| No Comments | 3 TrackBacks

As discussed on Friday, the mysterious Brush Colour has bought Highbury's specialist titles. Now Companies House is open again, we can get a few more details on the company. They were only incorporated on the 8th December last year, just a fortnight before Highbury's difficulties became public knowledge. Equally strangely, they changed their name on Friday to Encanta Media Ltd.

Now I'm not saying there's anything fishy going on, but the two company appointments listed on their appointments report are “YORK PLACE COMPANY SECRETARIES LIMITED” and “YORK PLACE COMPANY NOMINEES LIMITED”. Looks like the new owners wants to stay anonymous for the moment, at the very least.
