Overview

Gambling Connection: S.P. GRAHAM LIMITED is classified under gambling and betting activities and is directly linked to a UKGC-licensed operator that has held its licence since January 2009. It's in the Saferwager database as a regulated gambling entity operating in the UK market.

S.P. GRAHAM LIMITED is a long-standing gambling business incorporated on 7 September 1973, making it one of the older companies of its kind in Northern Ireland. Registered at Wellington Buildings in Belfast, it operates under SIC code 92000, which covers gambling and betting activities directly rather than as a holding entity.

With over five decades of continuous operation and an active Companies House status, S.P. GRAHAM LIMITED scores 83 out of 100, placing it firmly in the A grade bracket. That score reflects its age, stable compliance record, and the presence of a clear ownership structure through a corporate parent. The company doesn't carry outstanding charges and filed accounts within the past year.

Ownership sits with a single corporate entity that controls between 75% and 100% of shares, a structure that's straightforward and transparent. The company has been UKGC-licensed through its operator entity for over 17 years, which points to a sustained, regulated presence in the UK gambling industry.

Governance

The company has three current officers: two directors and a company secretary. One director is UK-resident, while another is based in Ireland. Ownership is held by a single corporate PSC, S P Graham 2013 Limited, which controls between 75% and 100% of shares as notified from April 2016.
