Overview

Gambling Connection: SOUTHESK DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED held a UKGC operator licence from August 2011 until it was surrendered after approximately 14.5 years, making it a formerly licensed gambling operator now in an inactive licensing status.

SOUTHESK DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED was incorporated on 12 December 1997 in Dundee, Scotland, and has maintained active status for over 28 years. It's registered under SIC code 92000, which covers gambling and betting activities directly, making it a participant in the regulated UK gambling sector rather than a holding or support entity.

The company scores 85 out of 100 (Grade A) on the Saferwager governance index. That score reflects its long incorporation history, active status, UK registration, and transparent individual ownership. The main drag on a higher score comes from accounts that haven't been filed recently, with the last confirmation statement over 50 months ago.

Its gambling licence with the UK Gambling Commission was surrendered after roughly 14 and a half years of licensed activity, meaning it no longer operates under UKGC authorisation. The company itself remains active on Companies House.

Governance

The company has two current directors, both UK residents, and a company secretary who has served since incorporation in 1997. Ownership is held by a single individual with 75-100% of shares, giving the company a straightforward, family-run governance structure with clear lines of accountability.
