- celticninja 8y agoIt was a London based company although one of the founders is Irish.
- teh_klev 8y agoIndeed: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/05256222 https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/05256222 And Jane ni Dhulchaointigh (listed as Jane Delehanty which is the english pronunciation of her name) ceased being a person with significant control in May 2018.
- hanoz 8y agoDo be aware though that 'Person of Significant Control' is a recent Companies House corporate transparency thing meant to identify people with control of the company via significant share holding or voting rights etc. who may not necessarily have already been listed as directors. So Jane could be CEO and own 24.9% of the company and still not be a Person of Significant Control in this context.
- teh_klev 8y agoI never made any claims as to her company status. I was just pointing out the companies house records such that the celticninja could investigate her status by themselves. In fact she was, had you taken the time to review their 288a forms (November 15, 2004), a company director, which was not a huge surprise given she was a founder. Flippin' 'eck your "bolt-counting" pedantry and davej's below are what gives HN a bad name and makes engaging in the comments often tiresome.
- davej 8y ago> And Jane ni Dhulchaointigh (listed as Jane Delehanty which is the english pronunciation of her name) To be nitpicky, it's the anglicization of her name rather than the english pronunciation. The English pronunciation of her name would be something like Jane Nee Dool-coin-tig.
- teh_klev 8y agoSure "Anglicisation" (see what I did there? :) ) was on the tip of my tongue, but I think we all know what I meant.
- ocfnash 8y agoIndeed, and the name was a deliberate play on the Irish word for play, "súgradh".
