Overview
Gambling Connection: J.P. WALTER LIMITED is connected to the UK gambling industry through an associated UKGC operator licence held under the name J P Walter Limited. That licence was active for over 15 years before being surrendered, which is why the company appears in the Saferwager database.
J.P. WALTER LIMITED was incorporated on 6 November 1968, making it one of the older companies in our database with over five decades of continuous registration. It's a private limited company registered in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, and its active status means it continues to meet its filing obligations at Companies House.
The company's SIC code of 96090 covers other personal service activities, but its connection to the gambling sector comes through a UKGC operator licence that ran for over 15 years before being surrendered. That licence history is what brings J.P. WALTER LIMITED into the Saferwager database. The company itself doesn't appear to be classified as gambling-related under Companies House data.
Given its age and continued active status, J.P. WALTER LIMITED has a long corporate track record. Small, long-standing companies like this one are often family-managed, and the structure here fits that pattern closely.
