How can I block these messages?

I keep getting messages from some unknown company, instead of a mobile number it has a name instead, so abit like if you get a message from EE, instead of the number being 0765123532 is comes up as EE, I can’t block the number by clicking the ‘i’ on the message and because it’s a company name instead of a number you can’t text back to say ‘stop’ etc.

The messages are coming from numerous different names, so whilst I can ‘hide’ the notification it’s pretty pointless because the next day it’s from someone else. I’ve tried to google the names and nothing comes up.

Any idea how I can block this shite? I’ve attached some photos so you know what I’m waffling on about :) I’m using an iPhone 11 if that makes a difference.

You see where their name is at the top, underneath where a photo would be if there was one? Just click on that, then block through there.

But if they’re all different numbers they’ll probably just keep coming and you’ll need to block each and every one.
