A quick google on the street address shows its a multi-company office
block with a number of a "virtual office" companies. i.e. an address
companies can rent to give them an apparent presence with mail address,
telephone answering, fax etc (http://www.thisisyouroffice.com/ is one of
them). I suspect he runs it from home in his spare time in reality.

You could try the virtual office telephone number and see if they have
them on their books and a contact number - 0207 553 9767

I think this is the guy behind it from hints given on the site:
"James Laurence, Chief Executive: Co-Founder of OverNet Data. CEO of
Pinkworks Ltd, the creator of the technology behind one of London's
earliest electronic bond derivative markets. Founder of Unofficial Psion
Series 5 Digest, and a team leader for the World Wide Web ConsortiumÕs
International Conference series volunteers since 1995."

So it again looks like it might be a hobby company. The Overnet Data
phone number appears to be 020 7291 3700 but their website is
non-functioning and the London Stock Exchange site is down for
maintenance today which means I can't check their current status but
they are still listed on Companies House.
