From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 11 August 2017 for the purpose of being the UK holding company for the wider Cambridge Analytica group of companies. At the point of incorporation, the sole director of the Company was Mr Julian Wheatland who was also a shareholder of the Company, alongside Dr Alexander Tayler.
Cambridge Analytica was a business concept, which provided a service of collection and analysis of data, and the deployment of the results of that analysis for the benefit of its clients. Cambridge Analytica’s clients included high profile political campaigners and associates.
Shortly following incorporation of the Company, a restructuring exercise was initiated to transfer the ownership of the various UK-based Cambridge Analytica entities (comprising CA UK and the SCL Companies) and the US-based, Cambridge Analytica LLC to the Company.
