PracticeGuard reviews public registers. The details on this page are compiled from public sources — the HMRC Anti-Money-Laundering Supervised Business Register, the GOV.UK published-penalties list and Companies House; this record was last updated 18 Oct 2026. Supervision and registration status are stated as published — this is not a judgement of the firm, and not an HMRC endorsement. Registration and enforcement decisions are HMRC's alone.
