I am trying to locate an address/phone number for a company. I have found their registered office through Companies House but am not sure if this is their Accountant's office or their actual office.

The Royal Mail web site used to have a facility where you could put in the postcode and the search would provide you with the business name and address, but they have now stopped this.

Does anyone know of another FREE website still offering this services. I have done the search via Yell & UKphonebook for the phone number of this company but I think they may be a sister company of another larger firm - but I don't know who.

I can reverse search (or rather I can tell someone else to abuse the company's resources ) if you want to mail me the postcode. This may or may not give the business name, depending on whether or not the 'code is exclusive.

It's still there, I used it yesterday. You have to register though, and you only get 8 free lookups a day.
www.royalmail.com, click on the 'Address Finder' tab.

www.multimap.co.uk

Type the postcode and it'll give you a list of business that operate in that postcode zone.

Cheers Stevie B - mrsd resolved the query for me - turns out it is one of those property companies who are here today etc.

I am always needed to do some detective work with my job (without the tools ) so the bit about multimap will certainly be useful in the future.

Thanks to everyone who helped
