They appear to be a one-man-and-a-dog outfit that can't even afford a dog!
Last filed accounts - zero employees. And owes around £8,000.

Their classification is simply 47910 - Retail sale via mail order houses or via Internet. Not in any sense a health, science, medical company.
Of course, that says absolutely nothing about how well they do what they do, etc.
I was surprised it popped up on my main feed... I got as far as a picture of a Macclesfield terrace 😵 couldn't see any reference to which labs they use...
Looks well dodgy 🙃

There are quite a few random small labs and other 'health' outfits that offer odd health related blood tests.
Myself and another member came a cropper with one trying to get minerals tested if you remember. I did get my money back in the end and I believe the other member did too.
I'll be sticking with the bigger outfits in future.
I just clicked on the link and got a message: Sorry, you are blocked. How can I be blocked from a site I've never been on before? 🤣
I clicked on the link and it does work… The copyright notice at the bottom of the ad says 2021 Everything Medical Ltd. and it is one of those recaptcha protected order forms…
However, £49 for just a TSH and FT4 test seems a little excessive compared to the other companies that are usually recommended here.
They do claim 26 reviews on Trustpilot which have given them an excellent rating but I wonder if that’s a bit like these ‘find a builder’ sites where nobody checks these reviews to see whether they’re genuine or not.
I think I’ll stick with the tried and trusted ones…
I'm thinking Macclesfield doesn't want to deal with overseas folk greygoose 🤭
I really can't see which market they are aiming for as like you say they are no cheaper and don't offer a full test option??
Well, they could just say that rather than telling me I'm blocked! I'm offended now. 🤣
