From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 20 December 2000 and trading commenced in 2001. The principal trading activity was that of management and delivery of government funded employment skills programmes and business support initiatives to the unemployed.
The Company traded from premises at Unit A012, The Chocolate Factory, Clarendon Road, Wood Green, London N22 6XJ, which it occupied on a leasehold basis at an annual rent of £46,500.
Urban Futures was an amalgamation of a number of public bodies’ regeneration teams (London Borough of Haringey, Enfield, Technical Education Centre, and Lee Valley Partnership). Until 2008, those public bodies sat on the Board of Directors and in effect controlled the Company. In addition, there were four super members: LB Haringey, LB Enfield, College of North East London and Middlesex University. In 2008 all of the above left the board and individual directors were appointed in their own right. There were no corporate directors thereafter though the Company continued as a ‘not for profit’ private company and social enterprise.
