🎲 Essex Leisure Limited

This company is a non-remote gambling operator in Great Britain, supplying gaming and amusement equipment to licensed venues rather than operating consumer-facing gambling websites or branded gambling premises. It is currently listed as active on the Gambling Commission’s public register and holds an operating licence issued by the regulator.

The company was incorporated on 19 October 1993. It has traded historically under the name Essex Leisure and, according to public corporate and industry sources, now trades as SX Leisure. Available company filings indicate it is privately owned, with Stephen Robert Hawkins recorded as holding the full share capital. There is no evidence in public registers that it forms part of a wider listed gambling group.

The business operates as a supplier of gaming and entertainment machines and associated services to third-party venues such as pubs, clubs and other leisure locations. It does not operate its own licensed betting offices, bingo halls or casinos; instead, it focuses on the provision, installation and servicing of machines and related leisure equipment to other licence-holding operators.

Licensing and Operations

According to the Gambling Commission’s public register, the company holds a Gambling Commission operating licence, with an active status. This is a non-remote licence authorising it to engage in specified gambling-related activities in Great Britain.

The nature of the business, together with the type of licence recorded, indicates that it is authorised to manufacture, supply, install or adapt gaming machines and/or to make such machines available in licensed premises, in line with the categories and activities permitted under its operating licence. These activities are business-to-business in character and support the operation of gambling and amusement machines in third-party venues.

The operating licence allows the company to provide its products and services to other licensed operators and premises that are themselves authorised to offer gambling to the public. It does not, on the basis of current public information, hold remote operating licences for online casino, betting or bingo, nor does it operate consumer-facing remote gambling platforms under its own name.

The Gambling Commission register shows the licence as current, with no indication that it has been surrendered, revoked or lapsed. Any trading names and individual licensed premises associated with the company are recorded on the regulator’s public register and may be updated over time as sites are added or removed.

Regulatory History

A search of public statements and enforcement records published by the Gambling Commission does not show any regulatory sanctions, fines or formal enforcement actions publicly attributed to this licence holder. The company appears on the Commission’s register with an active operating licence and no accompanying notes of regulatory penalty.

If any future regulatory decisions, variations, suspensions or revocations were to occur, they would be recorded by the Gambling Commission on the public register and, where applicable, in its published enforcement reports. As of the latest available information, the company continues to hold an active operating licence with no publicly reported adverse regulatory findings.
