Another TVI Express mystery: TVI SERVICES?

Found this picture on a TVI Express Thai website:  (http://tvismart.com/image/office0003.jpg)

This is supposed to "prove" that TVI Express is a registered (i.e. "legit") company in UK.

Note that is NOT a thumbnail. That is the actual picture. Thus, the wording is ALMOST unreadable. However, you can barely make out the company name: TVI SERVICES LTD.

Who is TVI SERVICES, and how are they related to TVI EXPRESS? That is a very good question. So what can be found about TVI SERVICES? Fortunately, UK requires every company to file something. And here's the info available:

Name & Registered Office:
TVI SERVICES LIMITED
C/O FLETCHER KENNEDY LIMITED
7 PETWORTH ROAD
HASLEMERE
SURREY
GU27 2JB
Company No. 06844674

Status: Active Date of Incorporation: 12/03/2009 Country of Origin: United Kingdom Company Type: Private Limited Company Nature of Business (SIC(03)): 9305 - Other service activities Accounting Reference Date: 31/03 Last Accounts Made Up To:  (NO ACCOUNTS FILED) Next Accounts Due: 12/12/2010 Last Return Made Up To: 26/06/2009 Next Return Due: 24/07/2010

If you look up "Fletcher Kennedy Ltd", you'll find that it is a company registration agent (i.e. they register companies for other people, and charge "service fee"). The REAL address of TVI SERVICES is unknown. Unless there's some proven link between TVI SERVICES of UK, and TVI EXPRESS (of Cyprus, or UK?), this document means nothing. Therefore, the office picture is even MORE suspicious. It is clearly NOT the Marble Arch Tower address. So where is this office building, as the address was not listed there?

And even if there IS a link, why would it need to use a different name? A check through CompaniesHouse.gov.co.uk shows no company registered as TVI EXPRESS or TRAVEL VENTURES INTERNATIONAL, so name duplication is NOT a reason. Why else indeed?

EDIT: Furthermore, the image is likely manipulated. If you take the image through Error Level Analysis

http://www.errorlevelanalysis.com/permalink/6ed5eb6/

You can see very clearly where the image very likely to have been manipulated. If the photo is original, the degradation pattern would be pretty uniform (dots). As you can see, where the text are shows "blocks" of stuff being pasted over. Entire BLOCKS of text shows manipulation, not just individual lines.

Indeed, if you download the picture and open it in Irfanview, the EXIF tag says it was retouched with Photoshop 7.0.

Examples of such certificates are very easily to locate online via Google Image search. Manipulation is child's play. Furthermore. the certificate come as plain paper, not that ornate frame, which is very obviously added via Photoshop. 

EDIT2: A larger version of the picture shows no sign of background manipulation. The problem was apparently introduced by Photoshop used to "shrink" the picture.
