From the administrators' statement
BB Realisations 2026 Limited (formerly Beauty Bay Limited) (the ‘Company’ or ‘BBL’) was incorporated in 2007 and operated as an eCommerce retailer, specialising in cosmetics, skincare, haircare and related products. The Company website stocked a range of over 200 third-party brands, together with own-label products marketed under the ‘By Beauty Bay’ and ‘Samplr’ brands.
The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dotcom Retail Limited (‘DRL’) (together ‘the Group’). DRL owned the intellectual property and trademarks used by the Company were owned by DRL and used by the Company under a licensing agreement.
BBL had two statutory directors at the date of our appointment: Arron Gabbie and David Gabbie (the ‘directors’). The directors are also statutory directors and shareholders of DRL, each holding 42% ownership stakes. The remaining 16% of shares in DRL are held by Zoe Gabbie (8%) and Julie Gabbie (8%).
