Overview
Gambling Connection: MANNING AMUSEMENT PARKS LIMITED is listed in the Saferwager database because it was connected to a UKGC-licensed gambling operator whose licence has since been surrendered, giving it a documented regulatory history with the UK Gambling Commission.
MANNING AMUSEMENT PARKS LIMITED was incorporated on 19 March 1996 and has maintained active status for nearly 30 years. Registered in Felixstowe under SIC code 93210, which covers amusement and theme park activities, the company sits at the broader end of the leisure industry rather than pure gambling. It's a family-owned private limited company with all directors and shareholders based in the United Kingdom.
The company's A+ governance score of 100 reflects a clean corporate record with no outstanding charges, current filings, and a fully UK-resident officer team. That score puts it among the best-governed entities in the Saferwager database, driven by its near-three-decade trading history, transparent individual ownership, and consistent Companies House compliance.
MANNING AMUSEMENT PARKS LIMITED held a UKGC licence through its linked operator, which was subsequently surrendered. It doesn't currently hold an active gambling licence, but its historical regulatory relationship is why it appears in this database.
