klassicvwkampers.co.uk gone bust?

I've been converting my Ford Transit, ex-police van into a camper.  I've installed a seat/bed unit and have faced up and insulated the bulkhead separating the cabin from what was the cells but is where I will keep all my paddock gubbins.

I had ordered a Smev two-burner hob/sink combo from klassicvwkampers.co.uk which included a fitting kit, pump, pipes and pretty much everything you'd need short of the gas bottle.

A week passed and apart from the initial PayPal receipt email, I'd had no contact. I emailed them and after a few days, still nothing.  So I called the number on the website : This number is no longer in service.  I found a different number on the PayPal receipt, again : This number is no longer in service.

I've opened a paypal dispute, and I'm confident it'll go through no problem, but it's a frustrating situation to be in as I am waiting for that kit to progress the build.  

Doing some more digging turns up some forum posts on some VW related boards suggesting others are having trouble too.
