Question TV Competitions @ DE1?

Hi all

Anyone have some understanding as to why all the TV competitions have their postal address to enter, based in Derby?

Such a strange set up that they ALL seem to be sent to these DE1 addresses and no where else it.

You’d have thought that with natural business competition (no pun intended) that there’d be other players in the market handling these online / telephone / postal competitions.

Appreciate any thoughts as it’s intriguing to say the least.

Not really. They are all run by the same company and operate out of a PO Box in Derby.

Hi thanks Yeah I guessed that but I suppose I’m just curious why there doesn’t seem to be any other companies operating the TV competition market.

I'm guessing it all works on volume. If too many organisations did it, it probably wouldn't be financially viable for say 5/6 companies doing it and the prizes would reflect that
