Stevens and Billington is another UK based vendor.

I believe they are a very well reputated manufactorer, not a vendor.

I would suggest, that everyone adds the companys they know to the forementioned list.
And I would suggest to the people running this place to make this list more accessible. I always have to search years and years to find it.

I can confirm Askjanfirst though he has them made by some winder

then there is Reinhoefer in Germany with a very good reputation
and some other small businesses (Rondo, BTB Elektronik) ...

when you want to include toroids don't forget Plitron
