Yup, they're officially based in the UK but licensed international. Lots of the early CPM stuff was actually sublicensed from Manga UK. You also had companies like Western Connections in the late 90's doing a few UK dub-only VHS, but they died quickly. Part of the issue with UK licensing is that the market here is small and it's not profitable to pay out the nose to the Japanese for right of first release - far cheaper to sublicense from the US.
