From the administrators' statement
Leasowe Castle became Leasowe Castle Hotel in 1891 (“the Hotel”), with various entities owning the property until the 1980s. In 1982 it was restored to a 50-bedroom trading hotel and a conference centre trading from Leasowe Road, Moreton CH46 3RF. We understand that the Company has owned the Hotel since the Company was incorporated on 11 Oct 2000.
According to Companies House, the directors following incorporation were Jonathan and Andrea Atherton and they are noted as resigning on 22 May 2015.
Mr Bhupendra Ghandi (‘the former director’) is noted as a director from 22 May 2015 until 18 August 2021 and HDK Hotel And Leisure Limited (‘HDK’) as the sole shareholder from 6 April 2016 to 18 August 2021. Mr Ghandi is named as the person with significant control of HDK.
