That'll be Graeme Tutin of Fleet frames in Hartlepool.
He certainly used the AMP F3 front fork 1996ish, but I've only ever seen full rigid or hardtails from him.
I don't know much about him, but here's an article including one of his builds:

The only UK builder that I can think of who definitely used an AMP back end was Greg Fuquay (From Alabama, but briefly here, so I think we can claim him).
He used the B4 rear end, not the longer strut B3 one to make the Dexter full suss in 1997. It wasn't an elegant thing, and soon after he returned to his aerospace career in the US.:
Only this one ever seen...was on eBay back in 2007 and seems to have disappeared since. ;-(
Pretty much a copy of the 1997 Dean Bamm-Bamm, I think, although that used the boxy Battle AMP copy rear end, as seen on this smaller frame:

Can you post a pic or two up? That would prove there’s at least two out there:
