Dawes went out of business sometime in the 80s. The current company, which I think appeared in the early 90s, purchased the rights to the name, and apparently some of the model names, but that's all they purchased. No other connection to the previous company, and they don't know anything (or care) about the bikes manufactured by the original company.
