Marlin??

Does anyone know what is happening to marlin website/ emails?

Tried contacting them on several occasions over last couple of days with delivery failure notice every time stating email address does not exist!

So popped onto their website today and I can't access it at all? tried from several links to no avail

Anyone know if the server etc is down

The last I heard from them was on the 18th - they sent out their Xmas email, saying they would be closed until this Monday (05/01).

I can't get to the site either... I assume it's just server issues.

I hope it's just server issues (and nothing more serious)!

Companies house website says they are still trading....so I guess IT issues are to blame?

All links now take you to website for a company called Dance Direct.

Interesting it's run by a web company called Codex. I'm pretty sure this is Marlins Web designer?

Sorry, but I found it funny. It is an IT issue whether on purpose or not. I bet Marlin don't find it funny though. A bit embarassing.

If it was Marlin being bankrupt/quitting or something, the IT company would not usually direct them to another web site. Well shouldn't.

The Marlin URL now displays this when you visit

Website temporarily unavailable
We are currently performing maintenance on our website please try again later


I guess Codex are plugging the cable back into the correct server, after tripping over it earlier on and yanking it out. ;)

I got an email from Terry today at 18.35, so her email is now back up working again even if the website isn't!
