Pretty sure he's been named various times in the other applicable threads, but good link. Hopefully a quick Google will stop anyone else from sending custom his way.

Another chancer involved in lots of "companies", no doubt all of which are one man bands, take note he's started another one this year, watch out for Bravo Company, I'm sure there'll be a new thread about it before too long.

If anyone does see Bravo Company crop up as an online retailer, feel free to make a new thread with that title and URL with links to this thread and the others. At least then people can see who runs it.

We get quite good search rankings for airsoft stuff so it'll come up in the top 3-4 results.

Nothing says reputable like censoring poor reviews, having strike-off notices against your company for not filing accounts, and then starting up a new company with essentially the same name.

An update on this...

I've just noticed that the eBay account that the seller was using now no longer exists.

I'll update the thread if another similar one pops up...

had a few run ins with this guy he used to go to SAWG and come to midwales airsoft  selling on game days as we didnt have a shop to supply the esensials back then but when he told me he was selling seconds as new and i should consider doing the same as the mark up was great we kicked him off site. and set up midwales airsoft shop where im pleased to say we only buy from reputable wholesalers. though because we are only based 30 or so miles away from his rented house and shed showroom. we get a lot of people coming in with faulty guns to repair that he says are out of warrenty.

This guy is still at it I purchased a tipmanns m4 carbin with HPA bottle and hose. Paid for the gun on the 30.12.2019. Didn't receive my gun till the 8.1.2020 after chasing him up as I paid of 24hr delivery. Eny way  gun comes in bits so I poot it together  and next day I go to get HPA bottle filled?  To be told that the bottle has a faulty gauge and  can't be filled up!!!!!! 

So I got a lone of a uther bottle to try out the gun to find out that it was missing parts and trigger response cylinder had been removed as well as hop up screw and spring/hop up block missing the HPA hose is burst and leaking air  i have definitely been sold a old well used gun and paid well over the odds for it to  £280.00 massage him and all i got was sorry to hear that you are not happy with your purchase send it back and I will get kev on to it he will have her running sweet as a dream???   Fck no m8 return my money??  Pure del boy  well I got on to pay pal  last i heard that her has Shropshire truck &bus company ( airsoft imports) have escalated this problem to a claim against me??? 

So looking like i am just a uther one of his victims?

Purchase a gun of this con man just before Christmas took my payment and sent me a tracking number that didn't work and I paid for 48hr shipping in the UK and waited 7 days and then had to contact the con man?  Mr woodhead that the gun was still in the shop and he would send it first thing. We 8 days later gun arrived at my address and upon opening the box i was confronted with a sub standard gun for the money i paid £300 as the gun barrel was twisted out of alignment and on further inspection I noticed that the gun was missing parts 7 parts including a major part for the trigger mechanism and the magazine was a after market cheap one that didn't fit the gun properly. I contact mr woodhead ho just email me back saying that he was sorry that I was not happy and to send the gun back and he would look at it?? I informed him that I was not happy to encore more shipping charges at my own expense as he sold me  faulty goods.  I did say that I was willing to fix the gun if he would send me the parts  ?left me wating another week before getting back to me and said that he would send me the missing parts. 8 days later still no parts so I have to email him again  by this time i have taken the HPA bottle to get filled up and found out that he sold me a faulty bottle with a broken pressure gauge and a leaking valve and HPA hose was leaking ... after 2 days i had enough and had to get on to pay pal to get my money back and I had to pay for the return postage which was £14.00 but lesson learned and 8weeks later I have just got my money back so be warned!!!!!!! This guy has had about 5 different companies and he just closes up shop and starts under a new name  check company house uk. 

So I honestly read that bad review about the guy who got a fake helmet and I thought that I'd be okay well I have had nothing but total hassle and it's cost me money so stay clear and go elsewhere save your self a lot of trouble this guy should be in the jail he's a complete conman
