Does anyone here in the UK remember a company named Centaur Films ? If yes do you know who they were ?

The reason I ask is I bought used Derann 400' versions of "The Plague Of The Zombies" and "Quatermass And The Pit" from them decades ago and I have found one of their secondhand film lists in a box.

David. I've seen the label on titles I have bought but never bought anything from them. Did they hire films out like Regent? Definitely, seen their name in Movie Maker magazines

I used to buy from them.
Centaur Film Services were at 54 Stanley Street, Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent.
I can't remember the gentleman's name.
