7 yearsCalled me and then abruptly disconnected as soon as I picked up.7 yearsMeridan kept calling asking if we were interested in selling our business, we’ve said NO so many times. Really frustrating how they just ignore what you say on past calls. Would avoid them for sure.Meridan7 yearsThey phoned and asked for the boss by his first name, I said he ain’t interested and then they said they’d call again. Had a break from these for a few months, looks like we’re back to getting 3 calls a day now :/7 yearsGot a call from Meridian asking if I was thinking of selling my business, either now or sometime in the next year. I said no, but they’re still ringing me non stop. Proper irritating.Meridian7 yearsTypical Scam Company!7 yearsAnswered the phone and the caller just hung up on me. Happened two times.7 yearsThey just disconnected, sounds like a scam to me.7 yearsMERIDIAN, isn’t there anything the ombudsman can do about this lot? I was under the impression cold calling folks is supposed to be illegal. They keep ringing non stop, and just putting up a message saying they’re a legit company doesn’t make it acceptable. Just quit it, surely if business owners wanna sell, they’ll get in touch themselves.MERIDIAN7 yearsGot a call asking for the owner by his first name, they ended the call as soon as I said he was in the back. Pretty certain they've rung before.7 yearsGot a call where they asked for the owner by their first name. When I asked who was calling, they said "Chloe from Meridian" and as soon as I replied "Alright, hang on a sec," they just cut off. Ive been getting calls like this from a different Bolton number for ages now.ChloeMeridianBolton7 yearsI picked up but they just ended the call straight away.7 yearsI got a call from someone silent, I could hear them breathing but they didn’t say a word before just hanging up!7 yearsConstantly ringing me only to cut off - it's incredibly frustrating!

Sounds like a never-ending grind they probably signed up for.7 yearsGot a call from Egypt then about ten minutes later another one from Bolton. These fraudsters really get around, don’t they?EgyptBolton8 yearsThe person just disconnected straight away. I’ve blocked the number and made sure it’s reported for sharing.8 yearsThey hung up as soon as I picked up. Think they might have called me before.8 yearsHonestly, I’m getting proper fed up with all these calls constantly coming through.8 yearsThis number persistently calls me and then promptly disconnects.8 yearsGot a call from someone saying she was from Meridan business service, asking if we were interested in selling. To be honest, the woman sounded like she just woke up and took ages trying to work out who she was calling. Not the first time they've bothered us, really annoying!Meridan Business Services8 yearsThey ended the call before I could even pick up. Now that I know who they are, I won't be answering if they call again. They always want to speak to the "owner" of the business, but when I explain it's a limited company with no single owner, they get a bit thrown. I just tell them we need a shareholders' meeting to sort things out.8 yearsDon’t pick up if you say it’s Winston Churchill on your mobile or house phone, they just hang up straight away.Winston Churchill8 yearsJust ended the call without picking up, proper fed up with these lot wasting my valuable time!!!8 yearsThey called me up askin’ for the Director, so I said that’s me, what’s up? Then they asked if I could spare a cuppa tea and a chocolate muffin. Strange request!8 yearsMeridian actually purchases businesses. It’s not some kind of scam, it’s a legit company registered with Companies House. A quick Google search will bring up all their info. They operate out of Bolton - Meridian Business Sales Ltd., First Floor Office Suite, Nelson Mill, Gaskell Street, Bolton, BL1 2QE. Their company number is 05834572. website: [#][#]meridianbusinesssales[###]/MeridianCompanies HouseBoltonMeridian Business Sales Ltd.First Floor Office SuiteNelson MillGaskell StreetBL1 2QE8 yearsI just bleated like a sheep, said “BAAAAH,” then they quickly ended the call.8 yearsI rang a number that's on the telephone preference list. I asked to talk to the person who owns it and if they'd be looking to sell their business. Just ended up wasting a bit of my time adding the number to my spam block list.8 yearsReceived a call from this number earlier, someone named Chloe. She was quite pushy. At first she wanted to talk to the business owner. When I asked who was calling, she said Chloe from Meridian. When I asked what it was regarding, she refused to say and kept saying she needed the business owner. Eventually, she just ended the call.ChloeMeridian8 yearsBloody rude lot, kept asking for the business owner (there’s two of us - me and my partner). I asked what it was regarding, but they just kept going on about needing to speak to the owner. When I pointed out I might be the owner, they wouldn’t believe me since I didn’t say it straight away. Ended the call quickly. Had a couple of these calls recently and it’s getting proper annoying. I swear the next one rings, I’ll let the dog have it!8 yearsThey're after business owners, saying there's some interest in purchasing the company. Just tell them you're the owner's assistant and they'll chat with you. Honestly, they're daft.8 yearsEnded the call right after picking up.8 yearsThey rang me but cut off right after I picked up.8 yearsA lady rang up earlier asking for the owner. When I said he wasn’t around and asked who was calling and if I could assist, she said it was a place called Meridian and due to the call’s nature, only the owner could talk to them. I told her they’d need to ring back later. She was quite polite and thanked me before hanging up. After reading the reviews here, it seems a bit fishy, so I won’t be picking up again. Might just give them an old phone number that’s never answered and let them call it all day if they like!Meridian8 yearsI ended the call as soon as I picked up. Might wanna think twice before ringing back.Best8 yearsYet another irritating cold call.8 yearsThey rang and only asked for the owner by his first name, when I told them he wasn't in, they then wanted to know if another colleague or a family member was available to talk to! Callers like this always seem a bit dodgy to me.8 yearsMuppets rang me up once more but hung up as soon as I picked up. Bit of a letdown, was geared up to wind them up properly, guessing they’re too daft to catch on!8 yearsThis number rings non stop but when I answer, all I get is static and silence. Proper frustrating!8 yearsThey rang my phone but hung up before I could even get to it. Seems like just another annoying call to me.8 yearsGot a call out of the blue trying to sell me something!8 yearsas soon as i picked up they just ended the call right away8 yearsGot a call earlier, told them my name and then they just ended the call 15. today58 yearsRang them, asked for the owner of the business.

WATCH OUT! Make sure you really go through the contract properly, or better yet, have a solicitor look over it before you sign anything, or you could lose thousands for no reason!!!!Meridian Business Sales9 yearsGot two calls from them today, each time they just dropped the line after about 10 seconds.

Each time I pick up, they just hang up! They rang me once more claiming to be from a firm named Meridian, supposedly interested in buying my business.

If anyone fancies joining me in emailing them, be my guest!MeridianMeridian Business SalesMeridian Business SolutionsBolton9 yearsI saw a company named Meridian Business Sales pop up, but they use a different phone number. I ignored the call because I mostly get local numbers ringing me. After looking up the number, I worked out it was just one of those annoying calls.

I told him no, and he just hung up right away. Seems like the start of some sketchy scheme. Best to avoid them completely. Think Ofcom should have a proper look into that number and whoever’s behind it.Ofcom9 yearsThey said they were Meridian and asked if I was interested in selling my business. They were polite, but it felt a bit off. I just told them no and ended the call.MeridianNo9 yearsI just said hi and then they cut the call.9 yearsGot a call earlier today asking if my missus, who wasn’t home at the time, wanted to sell her business.
