CHARLES SAUNDERS LIMITED, NE29 7XJ : Companies House Number 01581532

Executive summary

Charles Saunders Limited is a long-established (44+ years) food wholesale company with no immediate red flags in the available data: it is active, not in any insolvency process, files full accounts on time, and operates within a holding company structure. The principal concerns are (a) a material geographic discrepancy between the company's website ("South West") and its registered office (North Shields), (b) a PSC structure where two entities each claim greater than 75% ownership that requires verification, and (c) the absence of financial data in the information provided, which prevents a quantitative assessment of solvency and liquidity. Further due diligence — particularly on filed accounts, group structure, and trading footprint — is recommended before any investment decision.
