neutral · A punctual record breaks
This company filed 5 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 31-12-2025 was due by 31-07-2026 and was filed on 18-08-2026, 18 days late. Weigh it accordingly: a break into the 1-to-90-day band measures 1.41% abnormal legal state, below the 1.66% market average. It is a change in behaviour, not evidence of elevated risk.

Directors
no sitting director, no change since 2023
We have established no sitting directors for this company. We derive directors from published Gazette acts; while there are none, or none read, nothing appears here. That does not mean the company has none: the CBE keeps its own list of function holders, which we do not read.
