Know them well. The same ex-Essex player who played for the Unicorns uses them. The guy who runs it is linked to Wanstead and Snaresbrook CC, and they are made in Pakistan.

They've been variable in quality - about 80% guns and 20% planks. A couple of mates bought them and 4 out of 5 were happy. The unhappy one was the guy who spent the most money. His bat wasn't great.

Having used a couple of the others, I thought they were ok, but not really what I like. At the price point they are, they are certainly a good option.

The shape is a give away to it being Pakistani, also the fact that they have branded Hockey sticks which are nearly always from Pakistan.

They are made in Pakistan. The address and numbers in 'Contact Us' confirms this.

Factory is located on same road as other factories like of Ihsan etc

not really, few of my freinds play at wanstead so go down there and often see them. Seem nice and of course their 1st xi play at a very high standard so good to watch .  And often the guy who owns/runs cricket house is there with his van full of bats.
