This website opened for business in November 2006 and has always been protected by sophisticated SSL 128 bit encryption in the areas where your personal details and card numbers are placed. Since 2006 website security has moved on and now instead of just the two pages where your details are placed the entire website now benefits from SSL encryption. Thus on this front page depending upon your browser there may well be a padlock displayed giving you the assurance that your total "browsing experience" is totally secure when moving around this website. This was implemented August 2018. To see the certificate itself please click on the GLOBAL SIGN logo at the foot of this page.
