Overview
Gambling Connection: JOHN MURPHY LTD is linked to a UKGC-licensed gambling operator that has held a licence since 2009. The company itself isn't classified as a gambling business under SIC codes, but the operator connection brings it within scope for transparency reporting.
JOHN MURPHY LTD was incorporated on 18 February 2014 and registered in Bolton, England. The company has since been dissolved, meaning it no longer legally exists and can't enter into contracts or hold assets. That status alone pulls its company score to a D grade of 55 out of 100.
The company's filing record is poor. Companies House data shows accounts haven't been filed in over six years, and there's no confirmation statement on record. For a dissolved company, that level of administrative inactivity isn't unusual, but it does leave a thin paper trail for anyone trying to verify its history.
Despite its non-gambling SIC classification, JOHN MURPHY LTD appears in our database because of its connection to a UKGC-licensed operator. That licence has been active since 2009, well before the company was incorporated, which suggests the licensing relationship may predate or exist independently of this corporate entity.
Governance
JOHN MURPHY LTD was a single-director company with one individual holding 75-100% ownership and full voting rights. Both the director and the person with significant control are UK-based, which is a positive governance indicator, though the dissolved status means those roles are no longer operative.
