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.
Sorry but the good Lady also uses a dodgy title. This is cut and pasted from Companies House.

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.
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.
The point IMHO is to credibility and honesty. Investors considering parting with their hard-earned might think twice on finding that the recipients of a large part of their cash have been setting up businesses as Lord and Lady, businesses which have seem to have received outside funding, when those titles are joke titles which may have been purchased on the internet. I would not put a single penny into their pockets. I wonder if the nuog directors are aware of this oddity? Anyway it is to all potential investors to do their own due diligence. I have done mine and I am retreating at pace from this one.
Then try lady teresa mavis stevens...oh dear
It removed the link but go to companies house website search page and type in lord david stevens if interested
https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/search/officers?q=Lord+david+stevens
Just put in 'lord david stevens' in companies house search and this pops up....hmmm
Has anyone else checked the house of lords register for 'lord david stevens'? The only one I could find is baron Stevens of Ludgate, former CEO of Invesco and United newspapers etc.. He is not this NUOG/Guardian 'lord david stevens' as a dob check on Companies house proves plus the fact the photos do not match..daily mail vs house of lords website..alarm bells ringing potential investors? I hope Stevens is not using an internet-purchased title to give him more credibility with NUOG or with potential investors #highlandtitles.com
