Plagued by corporate prank calls? Here's who to blame:

MKD Holdings is the corporate stalker behind the public-harassment machine "Kitchens Direct". These are the people who will ring you up using an automated dialing system and then cut off when you answer, unless one of their operators is available at that precise moment to try and sell you a kitchen

...yes, this is the company that rings thousands of people up every day, and then hangs up because even though they're the ones who've called you, they are to busy to speak to you.

After the 20th or 30th time it happens it stops being funny. Very occasionally one of their operators WILL be available to try and sell you a Kitchen Direct, which kind of breaks the monotony but isn't really that much fun either.

Incidentally, here's a report from someone who actually BOUGHT a Kitchen Direct:

I don't like being rung up by people who're essentially calling to tell me that they're too busy to speak to me.

Nor do I like the fact that the corporate stalkers who decided to set up this system of public harrassment are anonymous cowards, who hide behind the poor telesales staff who have to do their dirty work for them. Let's face it, no-one would do that job unless they really were desperate.

So I've done a little research on MKD Holdings, to find out who their directors are, and where they live.

Here are their names:

Director: Yvonne Bennet

Director: Vicente Clara

Director: Steven Gaastra

Director: Christopher Gooding

Director: Kulvat Singh Gosal

Director: Gavin Holden

Company Secretary: John Murphy

Director: William Murray

Director: Roy Povey

Director: Neil Slowey

Director: Andrew Stanway

Director: Joseph White

I haven't yet decided whether it's right to publicise these peoples' addresses. I'd welcome any comments from others who may also have been plagued by these corporate wankers.
