Overview

Gambling Connection: JOHN LING & SON LIMITED holds an active UKGC operator licence and has been continuously licensed since 2009, making it a direct participant in the regulated UK gambling market.

JOHN LING & SON LIMITED has been incorporated since 3 July 1986, making it nearly four decades old. That kind of corporate longevity is rare in any industry, and it's reflected in the company's A+ score of 91, which accounts for age, active status, UK registration, and governance structure.

Despite its SIC classification falling outside the standard gambling codes, the company holds an active UKGC licence and has done so since 2009. It's a privately held limited company with all directors based in the UK, which keeps accountability firmly under UK jurisdiction.

The company's ownership structure changed in 2022 when Double Six Leisure Limited became the registered person with significant control, holding between 75% and 100% of shares and voting rights. That corporate ownership layer now sits above the individual family interests previously recorded at Companies House.

Governance

The company has four current directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. Ownership is held by a corporate PSC, Double Six Leisure Limited, which assumed majority control in March 2022 with a 75-to-100 percent stake. No outstanding charges are recorded and the company's confirmation statement is current.
