I absolutely agree, because you're comparing apples (UK colo) with
oranges (European / US rental servers).

If the OP is fully aware that all he requires is a reliable rented
server with decent connectivity to the world then it would seem
perfectly valid to go for someting cheap in Europe or the US.

But I got the impression it was for his employer and he wanted
reliable colo.  In which case I would host it somewhere nearby
(London - this is GLLUG) on hardware I spec and supply.

The cheapest offer on CWCS's page was a rental server for 100/month.
It had a 2.8GHz CPU and 512M RAM, which I do not think is what the
OP would choose if he bought his own hardware.
