Overview
Gambling Connection: THURSTON MANAGEMENT SERVICES LTD is directly connected to the UK gambling industry through a linked UKGC-licensed operator that has held an active licence since January 2009, giving it over 17 years of continuous licensed activity.
THURSTON MANAGEMENT SERVICES LTD was incorporated on 26 February 1997 and has remained continuously active for close to three decades, making it one of the longer-standing companies in our database. Registered in St Mellons, Cardiff, it operates as a private limited company with a lean, family-connected structure that has shown little change over the years.
The company's score of 95 (A+) reflects a well-maintained corporate record: active status, a long incorporation history, individual UK-based ownership, and no outstanding charges. It's the kind of profile that signals stability rather than complexity. Its registered SIC code of 96090, which covers other personal service activities, doesn't directly describe a gambling business, but its UKGC operator relationship places it squarely within the regulated sector.
Governance
The company has a compact board structure with a single current director who is UK-based. Ownership is held individually with a current PSC holding between 25 and 50 per cent of shares, registered from 2022.
