Overview
Gambling Connection: HAVEN LEISURE LIMITED holds a UKGC operating licence through its linked operator record, first licensed in January 2009 and continuously regulated for over 17 years. This places it in Saferwager's database as a licensed gambling entity despite its primary SIC classification in the holiday accommodation sector.
HAVEN LEISURE LIMITED was incorporated on 4 December 1985, giving it over four decades of corporate history. Its primary SIC code is 55300, which covers holiday and camping accommodation rather than gambling directly. That said, the company does hold a UKGC operating licence, making it a dual-purpose business that combines hospitality with regulated gambling activity.
The company holds an A+ score of 94 on Saferwager's trust assessment, driven by its long-standing active status, a clean filing record, and a board made up entirely of UK-resident directors. It's a well-established business with no significant governance concerns on record.
Ownership sits with Bourne Leisure Limited, a corporate entity that holds between 75% and 100% of shares along with full voting rights and the power to appoint and remove directors. That structure places HAVEN LEISURE LIMITED firmly within a larger hospitality group.
Governance
The board currently has three directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. The company has a single corporate PSC, Bourne Leisure Limited, which holds 75-100% of shares and voting rights with the right to appoint and remove directors. Ownership is transparent and UK-connected through the parent group structure.
