Overview

Gambling Connection: THOMAS'S ENTERTAINMENTS (LEICESTER) LIMITED holds an active UKGC operating licence and has been licensed since January 2009, with over 17 years of continuous regulated activity in the UK gambling market.

THOMAS'S ENTERTAINMENTS (LEICESTER) LIMITED is an active private limited company incorporated on 23 April 1965, giving it a corporate history spanning more than 60 years. It's classified under SIC code 92000, meaning its primary activity is gambling and betting, and it operates directly within the UK market rather than as a holding or management entity.

The company's Saferwager score of 97 out of 100 (A+) reflects a business with strong governance indicators: continuous active status, long-established incorporation, UK-resident officers, transparent ownership through a single current corporate PSC, and up-to-date Companies House filings. That combination of longevity and compliance is unusual, and it pushes the score to the top of the grading scale.

Its registered office sits at National House in Tamworth, and the company is currently majority-owned by a corporate entity, a structure that's common among family-run gambling businesses where ownership consolidates into a holding vehicle over time.

Governance

The current board comprises UK-resident directors, all appointed on 2 May 2017. Ownership is held by a single corporate PSC, Shipley Estates Limited, which controls 75 to 100 percent of shares and voting rights and holds the right to appoint and remove directors. There are no current individual PSCs, and the company has no outstanding charges on record.
