Overview

Gambling Connection: B & M AUTOMATICS LIMITED is in our database because it was a licensed UK gambling operator. Although the company is still active, its Gambling Commission licence isn't.

B & M AUTOMATICS LIMITED is a private limited company that was incorporated on 9 September 1959. It's currently active on the UK's Companies House register. The company's registered business activity is classified under SIC code 92000, which covers gambling and betting activities.

The company's direct link to the gambling sector comes from its history as a licensed operator. UKGC records show an entity named B & M Automatics Limited held a gambling licence starting in August 2010. That licence has since been surrendered, meaning the company doesn't currently hold a licence to operate.

Corporate ownership is straightforward. Mr Graham Machin is listed as the Person with Significant Control (PSC), and he holds between 75% and 100% of the company's shares. This gives him ultimate control over the business.

The board of directors is small, which reflects the company's private ownership. MACHIN, Graham is the sole current director. This simple governance structure isn't unusual for a company of its size and age.

Governance

Governance is handled by a single director, MACHEN, Graham, who's also the company's majority owner. This points to a simple and direct control structure without external board members.
