Hi
The companies you are using are either brokers (middle men who collate lots of small run size orders and place them with the actual disc manufacturers in order to get an economy of scale on the pressing price)or disc duplicators. One of the leading brokers in the Uk is Key Productions
http://www.keyproduction.co.uk/. For duplicators I mentioned Nimbus Records earlier in the thread. They originally founded the Nimbus Manufacturing Group which was the first CD replicator in the UK and had plants in the UK and Europe before it was acquired by Technicolor. Consequently Nimbus duplication business is focussed on high quality product. It also duplicates for its own classical label and it's product sells through mainstream record stores.
If you want to deal directly with a CD replicator as opposed to a broker or duplicator then there aren't too many left in the UK these days. But u can try Sony DADC in Southwater , Sussex, VDC in Park Royal North London or Sound Performance in Telford. Leading French replicator MPO also have a sales office in the UK as do Leading Czech presser GZ Digital. Typically most replicators will offer turnaround times in the range of 7 to 10 working days of receipt of your master and artwork etc.
Hope this helps.
