Mel no longer in control of DCFC

[Geoff Parkstone]

Companies House documents reveal:

"23 May 2019 Cessation of Melvyn Morris as a person with significant control on 28 June 2018

Now since MM owns Gellaw 203 100% and is the sole director of it, how can he possibly have ceased to be a person with significant control over DCFC??

Because Companies House don't understand the link between Gellaw and Mel? Their database doesn't make the connection human brains do?

[Geoff Parkstone]

erm no, its because MM should never have ceased to be a controller, or at the very least should have ceased and re-become a controller on the same day via a different intermediate holding company.

Its not up to companies house to make the link, its up to the company / shareholder / controller to disclose it
