I'm sorry ovenpaa, but I think you have that wrong.

The directors of Westech are / were Andrew and Roger Marriott, Simon K Barr and Simon's partner who also worked for a company called Tweed Media. That is / was also the entire staff. Their registered office is /was a private house in Tunbridge Wells. Westech is /was a UK £100 company with, I believe, a paid-up share capital of £4 (£1 from each of the directors). The "parent" company was called GSA (Global Security Asia), a Singapore based company that ran a number of mainly security-based Exhibitions in the Far East. GSA (Directors Andrew and Roger Marriott and others) are a real company with a working staff doing serious business.

I have looked up Reed and don't see the Marriotts anywhere on the org chart.

When Bisley live was first mentioned I did some research at the time and I am sure at least Roger Marriott was linked to Reed.

EDIT - He was. http://company-director-check.co.uk/director/900696185 The same Roger Charles Marriott was a Director of Reed but is now listed as resigned.

That would be Selina - ex news editor of the shooting times, tell me more as she is a "facebook" friend of mine.

The 2011 bible was missing from one bit of the website - was still the 2010 one - so I got that link corrected ready for the 2012 bible. Now all the links point to the latest version!!

Tweed Media is I believe Selina Barr (nee Masson) and Simon's company. Selina was involved with the marketing of Bisley live.
