However, they are a rear brands,

So if anyone knows a tyre company that stocks these, please let me know

Can I ask, why you are going to the trouble of looking for those particular brands.

There are plenty of other brands redably available ?

Genuine curiosity.

If we look at www.tyrereviews.co.uk/tyre both brand have few reviews so doesn't seem to be very popular.

Hi mikeecho
to answer your curiosity, I always bought top branded tyres, they cost a fair bit and generally worked well. 
Some years ago, when I needed tyres, I got a recommendation from a good mechanic on a specific model of a "budget" tyre. 
As per the comments above, this budget tyres were not popular, or inspiring, so I did some homework on just that specific model he recommend (not all models) of the budget tyre. 
That specify tyre model scored very highly on testing and customer reviews on tyrereviews.co.uk and a couple of other sites. 
To my surprise they performed slightly better than the top branded tyre they replaced. 
I have repeated the formula a number of times since of finding a budget tyre model that are highly rated in both test and reviews and they have worked well. I am very fussy about my tyres and very sensitive to their performance and would switch back to top branded tyres if this had not worked out. For me, this has worked out well. But, its important to note, I did not shop by brand, I looked for the best rates tyres for my wheel size, then looked for them specific models, and spent the time to look at them in detail taking factors like wet weather grip, wear, road feedback, economy, noise etc into account.  
However, I'm not here to talk about budget vs branded tyres. there is another thread on boards for that. Its just to answer mikeechos curiosity, 
hope this helps
