It sounds as if you don't want your suppliers to see what your selling price is.
Remember that by law, you must include your companies details (name, reg address, reg no, etc) on your web site

so i'm not sure you can stop them finding out your prices if they look hard enough.
2nd Bank account or 2nd telephone line?
I am a little puzzled.
Your initial comments don't make sense to me, unless you are selling via the Internet, how could your suppliers know what margin you are making selling the products? And, if the knew, what difference would that make?
I can't imagine why you would want to keep purchases seperate from sales, basic UK accounting relies on them being linked.
A company can have as many bank accounts as it wants, in as many currencies as it needs, they are all private and only known by the company. The accounts would have to be in the company name or a trading name of the company. You should not use a personal account for company business, in any case, your bank will soon realise what you are doing and make you change it to a business account.
If you are receiving unwanted sales calls, from people trying to sell you the same product, it may be that you can negotiate a better price from your current suppliers when you find out what they're offering.
You may want to consider ex-directory numbers to use for outgoing sales calls, if you are goign to be making them or you may wish to consider having additional lines on the same number for incoming calls if you are execting lots of calls.
