If I do hear back, I will update.
I did find this comment from Jerico Writers (https://jerichowriters.com/agentmatch/literary-agent/steve-calcutt/):
"Steve and his agency, the Anubis Literary Agency, have little to no online presence at all. The agency does not have a website, nor does Steve use any social media. Other than a very brief mention in the standard industry records regarding literary agents, the only snippet of information we could glean is that he represents science fiction writer Adam Roberts. Roberts is well-known in the genre and excellent recommendation for an agent that is otherwise an enigma.
"The Anubis Literary Agency has only Steve as an agent and is solely focused science fiction, horror, and fantasy. Do not bother sending any other work Steve's way, he is simply not interested. Much like his non-existent online presence, Steve appears to be quite old fashioned. He does not accept emailed manuscripts. Instead, you will need to to send him the first fifty pages of your work, along with a one-page synopsis, in hard copy."
Actually, I find his low-tech approach rather refreshing. The strictly snail-mail requirement, though, is a bit of a deal breaker, mailing from the US to the UK.

Genre fiction: science fiction, fantasy and horror. No other material considered.
Send 50pp with a one-page synopsis (sae essential).
No reading fee. No telephone calls.
Works with the Marsh Agency Ltd on translation rights. Founded 1994.
There have been no replies registered since, so I suspect the agency might have been set up on a whim, or to legitimise a small group of writers querying publishers. This isn't entirely "not cricket" but certainly not solid.
Apparently, so far his agency was pushed forward solely by enigmatic image.

It was quick but I have to say I wasn't impressed by the lack of basic social skills....
