The Hifi Hospital disappeared

I left the amp for a service at Hifi hospital at the end of the last year, and want to pick it up now (returning to Ireland soon), but nobody's answering at Hifi Hospital emails and phone calls! I know that they're closed for public, but pick up/delivery should work, I hope.
Does anybody has some contact there or knows the guy, or anything :)?
Its not a cheap amp, so kinda worried already whats going on.

Hadn't heard anything about them, were they in Ashbourne or Dunshaughlin?

It is a pity about the travel restrictions, but if you knew anybody that could drive to their premises to see if there is any activity at it or enquire locally.

There's probably nobody there, but if they don't respond in few days I'll have to organize a visit. Its just strange that nobody's answering to emails and phone calls, I was chatting with them ~2 months ago. Hope its not some serious covid thing ...

And if I don't hear from them, I'll have to borrow another power amp until I get my Pass back. I've been more than 6 months without my stereo system, and can't take much more like this:) Totally understand drug addicts now ...

Seems to be 2 directors, one of whom is Joanne Clancy, trading since 1995, so not fly by night by any means.

Any from here live around kells and could find out a bit more?

Used them only once around 2015/16, all was OK. Never required any services after that.

Just on a side note, what the Pass is doing there?

Repair of vu-meter needle on XA30.5
Also, some basic checks if everything is ok since I bought it second-hand from Poland.

@Fran, thanks for the name, I was able to find the names of 2 owners, will try to find a way to contact them directly.
