I was told this is despite there has been two offers for the company.

The last I heard is there is going to be a merger between the Staples
and Maplin brands. The demise of the website seems to dispel that idea
too.

There was a time some years back that when the Maplin web site
developers got quite good at SEO and link spamming, they totally trashed
Google's ability to find me electronic items from other suppliers, even
for items that eventually could not be found on the Maplin website
though Google sent me there.

My cursing then seems to have worked ...

Unlike mine... Amazon are still polluting web searches with useless
results. :-(
