HARKER LEISURE LIMITED
HARKER LEISURE LIMITED is a private limited company incorporated in September 2002 and connected to the UK gambling industry through a now-surrendered UKGC operating licence. The company is currently in liquidation, meaning it's in the process of being wound down. It holds a company score of 72 (Grade B), though its liquidation status is the most relevant factor for anyone researching it.

Overview
Gambling Connection: HARKER LEISURE LIMITED held a UKGC operating licence, making it a directly regulated gambling entity rather than a holding company or service provider. That licence has since been surrendered, and the company is now in liquidation.
HARKER LEISURE LIMITED was incorporated on 25 September 2002 and operated in the amusement and recreation sector, with a direct connection to gambling activities through a UK Gambling Commission licence. The company is now in liquidation, which means it's being formally wound down and is no longer trading in any operational capacity. Anyone encountering this company in a gambling context should be aware that it no longer holds an active licence.
The company's UKGC operating licence was surrendered rather than revoked or lapsed, suggesting an orderly exit from regulated gambling activity rather than a compliance failure. HARKER LEISURE LIMITED was registered in Leeds and operated for over two decades before entering liquidation. Its overall company score of 72 out of 100 (Grade B) reflects the long corporate history and UK-based structure, but the liquidation status effectively renders those historical strengths irrelevant to its current standing.
Despite the liquidation, HARKER LEISURE LIMITED's accounts are now overdue by over a year, and its confirmation statement hasn't been filed in over 19 months. Both are consistent with a company in the final stages of wind-down rather than any active governance failure.
Governance
The company has four current UK-resident directors and two current persons with significant control, each holding between 25% and 50% of shares. Both PSCs are UK-based individuals, and all current directors are British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. The board composition reflects a family-run structure, with no corporate or offshore ownership.
