Overview
Gambling Connection: MARTIN HOUSE holds a UKGC operating licence through its linked operator, active since February 2014. This is consistent with a charitable organisation running a lottery or fundraising draw rather than operating as a commercial gambling business.
MARTIN HOUSE is a long-established UK company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 1 May 1986 and currently active. It operates under SIC codes relating to human health activities, which points to its charitable rather than commercial nature. The company's A+ score of 100 reflects nearly four decades of continuous registration and a well-structured board of UK-resident directors.
The company holds a PSC exemption statement filed in August 2016, declaring that no individual or entity holds significant control. That's typical of charitable organisations structured as guarantee companies, where governance rests with a board rather than shareholders. With 15 current directors, all British nationals residing in the United Kingdom, MARTIN HOUSE has a broad and active governance structure.
Its connection to UKGC licensing stems from a fundraising licence held since 14 February 2014, now spanning over 12 years. This is consistent with charities and hospices that operate lotteries or prize draws to support their charitable purposes, rather than running commercial gambling products.
Governance
The company has a large board of 15 current directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. No person with significant control is registered, with a PSC exemption statement in place since August 2016, as is standard for companies limited by guarantee with charitable purposes.
