Quite a few people have pointed out Trumpeter as being a popular manufacturer. People have also mentioned Tamiya quite a few times although I get the impression that I should look towards their more recent models as opposed to their older ones.
PE sets are an area which I am looking into more deeply, not just for warships but also aircraft.
I am also looking for manufacturers of British WW2 Submarines but seem to be drawing a blank in this area.
I will be putting in some orders tomorrow and hope to have a couple of new sections on the site for detailing/accessories and WW2 warships by this time next week.
Thank you to everyone for giving me some direction in this area. I feel it is very important to understand what fellow modellers look for in a model. There are many high street retailers who offer a generic range of models and it is my hope that by being a modeller myself and by engaging with the model community I will be able to offer a service that many modellers will be happy with. It will take time and a lot of hard work, but I am sure I will get there.
