- Accounts overdue by approximately four years — serious compliance failure
- Confirmation statement overdue by nearly three years — further evidence of filing neglect
Overview
Gambling Connection: NEWBY AUTOMATICS LIMITED held a UK Gambling Commission operator licence under the name Newby Automatics Limited, first issued in 2009. That licence has since been surrendered, and the company is now in liquidation.
NEWBY AUTOMATICS LIMITED was incorporated on 22 November 1972, giving it over five decades of corporate history. Its registered SIC code, 77330, covers rental and leasing activities, though the company did hold a UKGC operator licence, which has since been surrendered. Despite the long incorporation history, the company's current standing is poor: it's in liquidation, meaning it's being formally wound up and is no longer trading.
The company's overdue filings tell the same story. Accounts are roughly four years late and the confirmation statement hasn't been filed in nearly three years. Both are serious red flags for any company still technically on the register. The C grade score of 63 reflects the company's age and UK registration positively, but the liquidation status and filing failures drag the overall rating down.
Governance
The company currently lists two UK-resident directors. Three individuals are recorded as persons with significant control, each holding between 25% and 50% in shares and voting rights. That said, given the company's liquidation status, day-to-day governance is now handled by an appointed liquidator rather than the directors.
