🎲 GRA Limited

This company is a British gambling operator holding an operating licence from the Gambling Commission of Great Britain. Its licence is currently recorded as active on the Gambling Commission public register. Historically, the name has been associated with greyhound racing and related gambling activities in Great Britain.

The company traces its origins to an enterprise founded in 1925 that became widely known for developing and operating greyhound racing venues. It emerged from a group that included Charles A. Munn, Alfred Critchley, Major L. Lyne Dixson and Sir William Gentle. Over time, the business expanded its interests in sports venues and associated wagering, and later moved towards a property-focused model around stadium assets. In the mid‑2000s the corporate structure was reorganised and the business was reported under the name GRA Acquisition in connection with property investment activities.

The entity registered as a limited company in the United Kingdom under the name GRA Limited has been used in connection with these greyhound racing and venue operations. In later years, the business largely withdrew from direct operation of racing venues and associated activities. Public records indicate that the historic greyhound‑venue business ultimately ceased trading and was wound up around 2019, although the Gambling Commission licence associated with the current corporate entity remains listed as active.
