Hello Alf and welcome to the forum.....decades ago, when woodturning grew rapidly in popularity as a hobby, the traditional manufacturers of lathes couldn't meet the sudden increase in demand, so the far eastern market started producing set-models which were then sold by numerous outlets all over the UK, where their own brand name would be put on the machine. It certainly looks as though this is what you've got here, in which case, WEB is probably not the manufacturer, but simply a brand restricted to a UK outlet. People like B&Q are well known for this approach to selling machinery, but I'm not suggesting for a minute that this came from them (in fact, I'm fairly certain it didn't). The chances are that if you dig deep enough, you'll find examples of this lathe, but branded and even coloured differently, according to who bought them, imported and sold them.
Best of luck....Les
