Bizarre company names

[GoldenCagedBird]

Was sat having coffee and saw van for a company called ‘Ghost Maintenance’ providing maintenance services for landlords. Their logo was literally a clipart, cartoon ghost. No wordplay. Just ‘Ghost Maintenance’.

was it the guy’s surname?
did he just really like ghosts?
can they also maintain your ghosts?

I can’t find it online and I am gutted

Have you ever seen an odd company name? I don’t mean a pun like ‘curl up and dye, just something…odd?

Whenever I used to see the Patient Transport Service buses that transported locals to the hospital I smiled to myself. They use their initials and as someone who worked with animals Pts has another meaning.

Estate Agents

Solicitors

Shopping Centre

There is also, allegedly, a diving club in the village Muff on the coast of Lough Foyle, County Donegal. It is called simply Muff Diving.

There is an AGP Plumbing driving his van around here. Makes me smile, as a regular visitor to the feminism boards.

There's a removal company on the IoW called Cowes Moovers and their vans are painted black and white like Freisan (sp?!) cows.

The first thing you need to check before appointing an estate agent is that they're hard-working, efficient and pro-active.

I come across a lot of newly named companies at work, created by corporate carve outs or mergers.

They usually use some stupid Latiny nonsense that ends up sounding like a bad Harry Potter spell.

Most recently we had “Eviosys” - a very exciting company that makes… tin cans.

There was a bus company near me called Boomerang. I guess because the buses went out and then came back

My son bought some running shoes from a website called feetus which I think is a bit unpleasant.

I’m in Germany. Someone on my street works for the local BMW dealership and often comes home in a car with their branding. Cuntz BMW.

There's a company called Willie wiper by here, and I always smile when I see their vans.

They have a little Willie wiper mascot which people take away on trips with them, he's been to all kinds of places.

There was (maybe there still is?) a shop on the Kings Road that sold cowboy boots
R.Soles
That always made me giggle

I saw a removal van called LTB removals. I even took a photo as it tickled me so much. The ideal company to move your stuff when you're leaving the bastard

Wet N Warm plumbing

Not a bizarre name but a clever one....there used to be s shop in Stoke Newington in North London selling white goods. Their name was Sell Fridges.

Not in UK but we have a few goods ones

I was driving behind a van belonging to a scaffolding company and the logo is 'we provide the best erections'

The toilet hire company 'Yesterdays meals on wheels'

Bolt and tool company ... 'Nuts in all shapes and sizes'

I think only other Saffers will get this one....a plumber called Kakibos.

I've never understood the reasoning behind the high street shops Sweaty Betty and Fat Face.

There was a motorcycle repair place in Bristol called Piston Broke

I wonder if they've been around as long as this motorbike rally?

Brickwork pointing company near me:

And not as bizarre as it may seem, apparently, Mr. Massacre of Innocents was big into redevelopment:

There’s an engineering company called CBA Engineers but the logo is just CBA, when I see the van driving around I always imagine the driver is on his last nerve.

On the topic of the village of Muff, @ThisIsNotAmerican I was on the bus once and the people behind me were discussing how one their fellow teaching graduates had got a job in the school in Muff, leading them to christen him with the title The Muff Master 😂

There's a wonderful bakery in a town near us, where they very much do take the trouble to make delicious products well and the service is great and friendly; but nevertheless, they are a member of the Craft Bakers Association, and I still chuckle every time I go in and see the CBA sticker in the window!

Construction company by me called Botchett and Scarper :)

What does it mean?

There's a Cracket & Sons glazier, in the Newcastle area.

I suppose, when you run a retail premises in a small Shropshire village with that name, you couldn't really not call it that - but it still doesn't stop it from being funny!

What does it mean?

Put to sleep - i.e. humanely euthanise.
