Jones or Williams?[[edit source]]

Is this supposed to be Rhys Jones or Rhys Williams? Shambala108 04:31, March 10, 2017 (UTC)

It's definitely Rhys Williams who works at Harwood's Haulage, and who is at all relevant to Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, but I'm not sure where in that episode it's actually stated that they operate out of Sheffield, etc. Here's the edit in which this info was originally added.
I'm actually thinking that sentence is mis-sourced. It seems to originate from the Harwood's page itself, where Kiss Kiss is given as a source for Rhys getting promoted. The cities of their company's operations do not get their own source, thereby implying it's KKBB—but I can't imagine where, as there's only that one scene. I can't seem to find a primary source for this information.

Several questions being asked here, so let's just track them all down.
Kiss Kiss is definitely the source for Rhys getting promoted.
RHYS: I got it.
GWEN: Sorry?
RHYS: Manager at Harwoods. The letter was on the mat. I got the bloody job.
GWEN: Oh, my God. Rhys, that is fantastic.
If you want another source for Rhys' position, go to Meat:
RHYS: I'm Rhys Williams, I’m manager of Harwood's Haulage.
He's also wearing a nametag that identifies him as "manager".
Indeed, Meat is a goldmine of info about Harwood's. I'd actually source the Sheffield claim here, not Kiss Kiss. At time index 5'17", Tosh asks, "Do you have their contact number?", and is standing in front of the Harwood's website. Thanks to HD, you can read "Sheffield" at the bottom of that page, along with Cardiff, Ipswitch, Birmingham, and Carlisle. At 28'14", the Harwood's van that Rhys and Jack are in backs up and you can very clearly see "Sheffield" and "Carlisle" on the side of the logo closest the cab. (It's a blink-and-you-miss-it-moment, though, so be poised to pause.) It's even clearer at 29'35", where you can see it on both the cab and trailer logos.
Unrelatedly, on other props, earlier in the episode, outside the manager's office, it's explicit that Cardiff is the "home office" for the company.
