uv-setting prepregs

Does anybody know of a (uk) supplier of uv-setting vinylester or polyester glass prepreg as a roll or folded. This would seem to be the ultimate material for the home onoff builder.

By and large prepregs come impregnated with epoxy rather than polyester or vinyl resins (for the better properties of epoxy).
If the market doesn't actively DEMAND polyester/vinyl impregnated fibres, then you'll find the opportunities limited + any theoretical cost benefits of going with the cheaper resins will be offset by the markup demanded of slow moving product.
