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?

Reminds me of the possibly apocryphal story of the Wang corporation who, when they bought a firm in Milton Keynes directed the staff to answer the phone "Wang, Milton Keynes", not bad, you might think, but spare a thought for the poor souls in the Cologne office!

Two courier companies, the first of which is clearly in business because I saw written on the side of the van - "Delivery, by George", the second of which has gone under - "Atlast".

While on the subject of the Danes:
There is a chain of shoe shops called Prik. Another called Fanny.
Book shops are "boghandlers". Though pronounced "bow-handler". (as in bow and arrow)
There are endless places called "Fart".
Middlefart is a large town. I haven't seen any businesses using variations on the theme of dooble èntèndres though.

There is a company called "Wrekin Construction".
I also came across a company once called "D Drill, Master Drillers Ltd" - I nearly phoned them up to ask them what they did.......
