What is your best real company name?

Posted by: Fozz on 24 April 2005

Having seen the chilled chicken delivery van again today with the name

"Poultry in Motion"

I felt inspired to ask the group to find the most silly, funny name in use for a company. I am aware of the

"L Passo" driving school in harrogate and that the ironing company "crease lighting" won the competition recently from yellow pages.

Any more nice ones out there?

Not a company name per se, but there's a hairdresser in Woodbridge, Suffolk (the name of which I cannot remember), whose sign offers "Bespoke haircuts". As opposed, presumably, to all those other hairdressers that don't........

There's also a George Bush Funeral Home in Norwich, and an old people's home (whose name I can't remember at the moment) in Beccles who are situated next to a graveyard and actually have their sign IN the graveyard. Nice touch, I thought.

Two more totally unrelated:

An optician in Leicester had a sign for his company "Derek I Blow", you would think he would drop the I in the sign.

and a local plumber who's advert read

"Why Sleep with a drip? telephone..."

some good ones coming in./

ooh and forcing myself slighty off topic, the sign inside my local hairdressers has a varying offer of the week. it has been.

1. two hairs cut for the price of one
2. free tissue with every haircut.

I remember one of those adverts in the cinema (the cheap ones that flash up like a slide show before the proper ones start) for a timber merchant, the slogan was: "The good timber merchan that's hard to find", hardly a selling point (perhaps some punctuation was in order.....)
