Claiming that the migration of emails to Greenby is in my best interest*, when it clearly serves to offload Plusnet and BT's responsibilities, is a typical tactic of these companies.
Upon reviewing the Greenby terms, I feel uneasy about their professionalism. The frequent splitting of words across two lines gives the document an unpolished appearance. Additionally, their requirement that formal complaints be submitted via traditional mail** indicates a lack of commitment to customer support once issues arise. This is a common tactic employed by large corporations, but it is particularly frustrating coming from an email provider.
*"To ensure you can continue to receive a reliable and secure Plusnet email service, we’ve taken the decision to transfer the running of our email to the provider Greenby who will manage the service going forward."

Out of curiosity I've just spent a few minutes driving along Barnes Wallis Road in Google Maps, and I can't actually find their office - I assume it is a room inside some serviced building (in a way that's reassuring, some "businesses" I've looked up appear to be run from a house on a council estate or similar).
I did find Enix Ltd's office on Parkway in Whitely though - that looks to be in serviced offices. Google Maps has some reviews for them - not good at all 😞
I'm glad I run my own mail server!

Very strange , their trustpilot reviews for the various brands are very good https://enixltd.com/
Then again there are only 6 reviews on the google site and they relate to enix directly AFAICS. I would have thought people would be reviewing the brand providing the service rather than the holding company ?
I've had email hosting with one of their brands (Ecohosting) in the past and the service and support was excellent.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Looking at their Accounts on Companies House they're a pretty tiny outfit. There's a spate of recent 1star reviews on Brixly which they've recently taken over. So keep fingers crossed.

Bloomberg says Enix offer Wordpress hosting. Hope their wordpress hosting is more stable than the PlusNet email system as currently being migrated to Greenby.

Don't believe all you read. Companies House details may be factually correct but if the Company your're investigating is a holding Company there will be limited information of what could be a very large organisation.....

Holding companies report consolidated group accounts showing the entire group's activities. As you'll have seen when you looked, Enix Ltd's accounts are not group accounts and it has no subsidiaries: and it is not itself a subsidiary.

Just looked up the last company I worked for, a Financial Holding Company. A Company that owned Companies, that owned Companies, that owned Companies etc. Present in over 30 Countries and employing over 600k employees. Companies House just presents details of a small Company that offers advice to other Groups.

You should report them to Companies House for not complying with the Companies Act.

I reckon you’re confusing Holding Companies with Parent Companies.

Explain the difference. Enix Ltd clearly isn't either - or in a group at all. At least not as at July 2024, the date of its accounts.

Well if you have a highly complex group you can have an intermediate holding company for part of the group that is not the ultimate parent. But it must still disclose its subsidiaries and the ultimate parent.

I was going to mention cross-shareholding but you’re right this conversation is going nowhere……
