🎲 Sawyer Bros Bookmakers Limited

Sawyer Bros (Bookmakers) Limited is a British gambling operator licensed by the Gambling Commission to provide betting services in Great Britain. It is authorised as an operating licence holder and remains in active regulatory status. The company was incorporated as a private limited company on 25 January 1999 under the name Sawyer Bros (Bookmakers) Limited.

The company operates under multiple trading styles in the British betting market. According to the Gambling Commission public register, its registered trading names include Charlie Chase, Frank Thorpe and The Captain. These trading names are associated with its licensed betting activities rather than being separate licensed entities.

Publicly available regulatory and corporate filings identify Sawyer Bros (Bookmakers) Limited as a standalone private company. No information is published in the Gambling Commission register indicating that it forms part of a larger gambling group or that it is a subsidiary of another licensed operator. Detailed information on individual shareholders, directors or ultimate beneficial ownership is not provided in the Commission’s public register and is instead recorded in UK company registry filings.

Licensing and operations

Sawyer Bros (Bookmakers) Limited holds an operating licence issued by the Gambling Commission under the Gambling Act 2005. This licence permits it to offer betting services in Great Britain, subject to the specific licence activities and conditions recorded on its operating licence. As an operating licence holder, it is authorised to provide facilities for gambling within the scope of that licence, which typically covers betting services offered to customers either in person, remotely, or both, depending on the exact licence configuration.

The company’s operating licence is recorded by the Gambling Commission as active. This means the licence has not been surrendered, lapsed, revoked or suspended, and the operator remains authorised to provide the licensed gambling activities, subject to compliance with all applicable regulations, codes of practice and licence conditions.

The public register entry confirms that Sawyer Bros (Bookmakers) Limited is licensed as an operating licence holder rather than solely as a personal management or personal functional licence holder. The trading names Charlie Chase, Frank Thorpe and The Captain are listed against this operating licence, indicating that gambling facilities offered under those brands are covered by the same corporate licence.

No information is published in the Gambling Commission register indicating historical changes of licence status such as suspensions, revocations or surrenders. Any amendments to licence conditions, variations of authorised activities or additions and removals of trading names are recorded administratively by the Commission but are not all detailed in narrative form on the public register.
