The Stevens have been flogging this dead horse for 10 years or so, and it is no surprise the Company has not raised the money. According to a Daily Mail puff piece as long ago as 2013 the Stevens were 'due to make millions' from the barriers, and I would hazard a guess that this crock has been doing the rounds ever since. This is not the first fundraising the Stevens have done for Guardian, and the last one clearly failed to transform the business so why should this one, even if they find anyone mad enough to support this latest nonsense.
How come the Stevens are called Lord and Lady at Companies House, but they don't appear on the House of Lords register?
How come Gary Smith was allegedly a Petrofac insider, when Minty was pushing gas to wire, and he is now a security expert?
I don't understand you some off you guys from positive to negative from negative to positive ****ing make your mind up. It's money we wrote off let's see what comes relax.
Not all Lords are eligible for the upper chamber.
Sorry Yingtong but that won't do. Not all peers are on HL reg but ALL legitimate peers are listed and their status given on the College of Arms website. Download is free. This includes all legitimate hereditary and life peers including those hereditaries who since 1999 have not been able to be on the House of Lords register. Our dodgy duo are not there. There are indeed 2 lord Stevens, one is even a David (perhaps that gave our chap the idea) but that David is the very well-known publishing and finance tycoon, baron ludgate. Alas no Mavis nor Teresa. Our unlikely lord and lady seem to have bought their titles on the internet. These are usually 'lord of the manor of an inch square of glencoe' or wherever and cost about 50 quid. Google 'highland titles' if you want to join the aristocracy. Is it important. I woul say yes, because if someone is contributing 2 million quid to a business run by people pretending to be a Lord and Lady it probably sets off a few warning bells. Fantasists or what? Taken with the number of years this company has been treading water, indeed sinking previously and the lack of success of a previous raise and all I can say is that I want the phone numbers of all the punters daft enough to invest in this, as that list is a hugely better investment than Guardian.
Correct you can buy a lord and lady title for around £50 or less for a few square inches of estate land. Helps keep the estate running. Pretty lame if being used in false nature.
I wonder if this will come back after all.. shares still showing in account but most under new title. Would be no surprise to see this fail. But fingers crossed they manage it and it’s better than many suspect it is..
LA, I was merely responding to SBPs mention that they are not in the lords register and that is not definitive.
Ying Tong, they
YT, they do not appear on the Peers Roll either, which lists every living peer in the country.
Appears the bought it. (Thinking about ot if he were a baron he would be David Lord Stevens not Lord David Stevens).
Its easy to discredit a non-quoted company but those who are invested here would rather the thing requoted whatever anomalies people come up with. Its also the case that those who are in higher up may or diluted may wish to average on opening which could provide support assuming it refloats. Its a moot point whether Stevens is a Lord or isnt, since he isnt a director and his wife invented the invention, not him. Perhaps, when he was selling the barrier to merchant ships he considered it a marketing ploy to acquire such a title, who knows?
Sorry but the good Lady also uses a dodgy title. This is cut and pasted from Companies House.

Why do you think any one called MAVIS would ever be considered to be a Lady of the Realm?
Why do you think that anyone cares what she called herself in a soon to be defunct company?
Your just trolling and not very subtely
Sorry to cause such a reaction, I was simply correcting your assertion in your post that it doesn't matter if David Stevens calls himself a Lord as he isn't a director and he didn't invent the barriers. The fact is that Mrs Stevens is a director, she did invent the barriers and she has used a rather dodgy title in a filing to Companies House. It is not trolling to state the facts. The Companies house website is open to all to check those facts. I would invite anyone to do so before accusing others of trolling.
Wait so someone who’s name is saying he’s basically god, or at least a lord on a ladder is saying that someone else calling them selves lord is dodgy :) brilliant
Pot calling kettle black much!!!
Lord Minty of Wilmslow is laffing 'is ass off
