Overview
Gambling Connection: GRANGE CLUB (BIRTLEY) LIMITED (THE) appears in the Saferwager database because it's the corporate entity behind a UKGC-licensed operator that held a gambling licence from 2009 until it was surrendered, representing over 17 years of regulated activity.
GRANGE CLUB (BIRTLEY) LIMITED (THE) is a long-established private limited company, incorporated on 28 January 1965, making it over six decades old. Its registered office sits in Hove, and it has maintained an active status throughout its history. The company's SIC code of 93110 covers operation of sports facilities, though its connection to regulated gambling activity is what brings it into the Saferwager database.
The company's gambling industry connection comes through a linked UKGC-licensed operator that held a licence from 2009 before surrendering it. That represents a period of active regulated activity spanning more than 17 years. The surrender of a licence doesn't necessarily indicate compliance failures; operators sometimes exit the market voluntarily or restructure their business activities.
A notable ownership change took place in October 2024, when control shifted to a corporate entity. The company's longevity gives it a strong foundation in terms of corporate history, though the surrendered operator licence means its active regulatory footprint has now ended.
Governance
The company currently has two directors, both British nationals resident in the United Kingdom, appointed in October 2024. This followed a change in control, with a corporate entity now holding significant control. The board was restructured at the same time ownership transferred.
Linked UKGC Operators
No UKGC licensed operators are directly linked to this company. This may indicate the company is a holding entity, service provider, or the operator link has not yet been established.
