I’m trying to find out information about a Managing Director of a UK company. But so far I’m having no luck. I can’t even find out the guy’s date of birth. Does any one know where I could find out this information? So far I’ve tried Yahoo, Google, Ask Jeeves, the company’s website and the library. ---

Does Lexus/Nexus cover the UK? ---

Companies House will have his name and home address - you can go there in person or order a search (it costs not sure how much). Some people are exempt from this eg those involved in animal experimentation to protect them from nutters. From there if you want to know more you could employ Experian to find out more about him or Dunn and Bradstreet if you want to know about the company - but they REALLY charge. What do you want to know and why? ---

[http://www.companies-house.gov.uk/](http://www.companies-house.gov.uk/) Click on the “WebCheck” link in the upper right. This will allow you to do a simple search, but you have to pay for the full company/MD info. It’s only a couple of Pounds if I remember correctly. ---
