Overview
Gambling Connection: FORTUNA LEISURE LIMITED is in our database because it held a UKGC operator licence, first granted in May 2013. That licence was subsequently surrendered, and the company is now dissolved.
FORTUNA LEISURE LIMITED was incorporated on 25 February 2013 as a private limited company registered in Knutsford, Cheshire. Its SIC code of 68209 covers other letting and operating of own or leased real estate, which doesn't align with its gambling licence history — a mismatch that points to limited Companies House maintenance before dissolution.
The company has been dissolved, and its most recent confirmation statement and accounts are now over 23 months old. That administrative trail-off is consistent with a business that stopped trading before formal dissolution. Its company score of 59 (Grade D) reflects the dissolved status pulling down what would otherwise be a clean record, with no outstanding charges and UK-resident directors throughout.
Despite being dissolved, FORTUNA LEISURE LIMITED spent over 12 years in the licensed gambling sector before its operator licence was surrendered. Consumers researching this entity should treat it as a dormant company with no active trading or regulatory standing.
Governance
The company had two directors, both British nationals resident in the United Kingdom, who were appointed on the same day as incorporation. Ownership was split between two individual PSCs, each holding between 25% and 50% of shares, suggesting a jointly held private company with no corporate or offshore ownership.
