There seems to be quite a web of former companies with similar names and Jeune as director. I thought the current name was Evolution Security Services Ltd (as per the current website) but then found this

This is the company that went 'pop' last November, Tony.

... and this is his current company.

Thanks.

What's odd then is the current website - http://www.evolve-online.com/ - still has "Evolution Security Systems Ltd" at the bottom of the page.

Evolution Security UK Ltd appears to be 'dormant' in respect of the filing of accounts. Jeune may be acting as a consultant judging by this recent article.

To muddy the waters even further the Ploppies new strip will carry just the word 'Evolution' so nobody will really understand what their business is. I think this is just a face saving exercise to cover up the fact that they have been unable to attract a genuine shirt sponsor.

Given his role defined in that article one wonders why he didn't get more involved when the guy who'd let them down over their retro shirts asked them to email bank account details in order to stand a chance of a refund.

I wonder if Evolution have actually put any money in, since they're a dormant company. Didn't Cousins only put in about £3k from his company?

Just had a look at ploppynet, you've got to love the classy way they launch their new
Kits.

Just a photo taken on a fans phone on two old diamonds club shop dummies, in a random corner somewhere, wearing Rushden and diamonds old away kit (the macron Argentina one) shorts.

Compare that with AFC Rushden & diamonds, coordinated photos, press release, website article. On the pitch, professional photos - it just shows how good a job the afc team do!

with no news coming out of ploppyville they have taken to cutting and pasting our press releases on their forum.

Perhaps they just want to show everyone how it's done in the correct way!

They must be bored, I don't understand why that's relevant to them at all?
