The company is Photolink (UK) Ltd
I've emailed them asking questions and will get back. They may have a URL but

Amro, all,
I've just spoken to someone at the Vision 2005 arena, to ask if they
could help track down the company in question. They've taken my number and
if they get back to me, I'll pass on what I find out.
Cheers,
Tink.
