Overview
Gambling Connection: POSTCODE ACTIVE TRUST holds an active UK Gambling Commission licence, first granted on 15 August 2014, covering gambling and betting activities under SIC code 92000. It's classified as gambling-related in the Companies House register and has been continuously licensed for over 11 years.
POSTCODE ACTIVE TRUST is a private company limited by guarantee (exempt from using the word 'limited'), incorporated on 30 June 2014 and registered at 28 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh. It operates under SIC code 92000, placing it directly within the gambling and betting activities sector. With over a decade of continuous active status, it's one of the more established entities of its type in the UK regulatory database.
The company's trust score of 93 (A+) reflects a clean governance record, UK-based leadership, and verified ownership. It hasn't accumulated any outstanding charges, and its confirmation and accounts filings are up to date. That combination of longevity and compliance sets it apart from many smaller operators in the database.
Its corporate structure is that of a not-for-profit guarantee company, which is common among lottery and prize-based charitable operators. It doesn't have shareholders in the traditional sense, with control instead vested in named persons with significant control rather than equity holders.
Governance
The board currently comprises five directors, all British nationals residing in the UK, with tenures ranging from the company's founding through to 2022. Three directors were replaced in March 2021, indicating a significant board refresh at that point. Ownership is held by two current persons with significant control, each holding 25 to 50 per cent voting rights and the right to appoint and remove directors.
