BOGNOR PIER LEISURE LIMITED was incorporated in May 1996 and has remained active for close to 30 years, giving it one of the longer track records among smaller licensed operators in the UK. The company's SIC classification covers other amusement and recreation activities, consistent with the type of leisure-based gambling often found at seaside venues and pier attractions.

Its company score of 92 (A+) reflects strong governance across multiple measures: active status, long incorporation history, UK registration, clear individual ownership, and no outstanding charges on record. That score puts BOGNOR PIER LEISURE LIMITED among the better-performing smaller operators in this dataset.

The company has held a UKGC licence since 2009, giving it over 17 years of continuous licensed operation. That's a meaningful period of regulatory compliance under the Gambling Act 2005 framework, and it's one of the more telling indicators of an operator that's managed to stay on the right side of its licensing obligations.

Governance

The company has a lean structure with one current director (UK-resident) and one secretary, both long-serving. Ownership is concentrated with a single individual holding 75 to 100 percent of shares and voting rights, making this a tightly held, owner-operated business.
