They are based in Nottingham and i have had impartial advice off this company for the last 15 years and they have saved me small fortune in certain investments.

You are dealt with in a very professional way by goodmans who work on a one to one basis with you so you always know where you stand financially. They can be found at www.gemis.co.uk... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, MP3 playback, Slim
Disadvantages: Slow, Limited

...I have two DVD Recorders - a Philips and this Goodmans. I have a long-standing 'relationship' with my Philips (LOL). I bought a Philips first. It was rather big from what I can recall. But it developed a fault within a year - it wasn't reading new and blank discs. So I returned it and ordered another Philips but a different model. Again, it developed a fault within a year so, again, I returned it and I ordered a Sony to try but I found it too complicated to use so I returned that too. I ended up re-ordering the last Philips model I tried and -touch wood - it's still going AND it's been over a year now! It has it's slight faults that I can live with... but I'm not reviewing the Philips. I wanted another recordable DVD player for a different room, so I tried the Goodmans... I wish I hadn't! I bought it, but didn't set it up and use... Read review

Advantages: Excellent picture and sound quality. Easy to use
Disadvantages: Doesn't remeber preferred screen size

...OK... so I needed a new TV. I had very little money to spend! Icouldn't afford a fancy LCD or plasma screen. I needed something cheap that would do the job well! I found the Goodmans TV in Currys for £150 and it was a lot cheaper than other brands and it had many of the same features as the budget TVs of the higher end brand names. The picture quality is excellent, as is the sound quality. It was so easy to install and set up. Overall an excellent Tv and I can't actually think of any negatives that it has apart fromevery time you switch it on you have to change the screen size. When you turn it off it goes back to the screen ratio of 4:3 and doesn't remember your preferred size.... Read review

Advantages: The Original London Revival in all its glory
Disadvantages: Confusing if you haven't seen the show

...by the wonderful Henry Goodman as Billy Flynn and Meg Johnson as Mama Morton, both of whom revel in their parts. Now that I have seen the show I do appreciate this CD much much more as it clarified a few confusing moments - it is sometimes difficult to hear who is saying what in the ensemble singing and to see it really does make a difference. I would recommend this CD to any folks who like the movie, as it is far and away better than that. The CD is available from most retailers, at a variety of prices. The show is also still playing at the Adelphi Theatre in London and a touring version is going around the UK now. TRACK LISTING 1. Overture - The Band 2. All That Jazz - Ute Lemper 3. Funny Honey - Cavin Cornwall 4. Cell Block Tango - Ute Lemper 5. When You're Good to Mama - Meg Johnson 6. All I Care About - Henry Goodman 7. Little Bit of Good - C... Read review

Advantages: Digital Freeview Tuner (When it works)
Disadvantages: Slow , Unresponsive , Eats DVD's !!

...This is without doubt the most annoying DVD Recorder in the world !. I bought it to replace a Lite-on Which after the second unit failing changed to Goodmans ... How wrong was I , I should have kept well clear . This thing has only ever written successfully to about 3 disks out of over 100 ! , yes thats a 3% success rate , I kid you not . I have thrown dvd's from Tesco's , Svp comms & even TDK Mega expensive ones into it & it doesn't recognise any . It throws them back as full , Or says they are not DVD's !! I had resorted to using the one that came with it , As this was the only disk that it seemed to work with , So I mailed Goodmans tech support (Big Joke!) asking what brand disk it was shipped with as I would buy them because it seemed to work at least 70% of the time . They couldn't even tell me what brand disk it had shipped... Read review

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...The original Flintstones film was a novelty item and a chance to see how the goofy props would appear on film. The performance of John Goodman as Fred was excellent and the right person for the role. Flintstones – Viva Rock Vegas was pitiful. It is another example of how not to make a sequel. The performances were dire and the storyline of the how Fred & Wilma met was thin. I was dragged in to watch this by my kids who said it was “OK” but they were hardly raving as we set off for something fun to do.... Read review

Advantages: You'll laugh yourself silly!
Disadvantages: Predictable but fun!

...This movie is hilarious! When it came out in the cinema, I chose to not go and watch it because I honestly thought it would be rubbish! How wrong was I?!! A couple of days ago, my sister bought the DVD and made me watch it. I don't think I have laughed so hard! Ben Stiller brings the character of White Goodman to life and makes it his own! His acting is fantastic; he truly is a comic genius. Along with Stiller, Vince Vaughn plays Peter La Fleur, a nemesis of White Goodman played by Stiller. The movie has some great appearances from stars Gary Cole and Jason Bateman, Chuck Norris and a brief but funny appearance from Lance Armstrong- the cyclist. The plot for Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is a team from Peter La Fleurs gym (Average Joe's Gym) are in danger of losing their gym to their much hated rival (Globo Gym, run by White...

Advantages: Removable Security Face plate
Disadvantages: Silver coating rubs of after a short time

...I purchased the Goodmans GCE7105 CD player following the theft of my previous CD player (which was the Goodmans GCE7103 and in my opinion a better CD player). What can I say, the CD player was easy to install (after I purchased an ISO Socket to a 1993 Ford Fiesta converter). Excluding the removal of my old CD player (which was kindly done for me) I was able to install the CD player in under 5 minutes, most of this time was making sure that the mounting cage was securely fixed. The sound quality from the CD player, well that depends on the quality of the speaker system in the car, I have the original 1993 front speakers so the sound is not the best. The CD player does come with five preset equalization settings, which did help to improve the sound. I have also notice that the CD can sometimes skip when going over a small bump... Read review
