Who Owns Three Tuns Investment Holdings?

Three Tuns Trade & Investment Holdings Ltd (UK company 14242045) is controlled through a layered ownership structure involving two Person of Significant Control (PSC) vehicles, as documented in the Companies House PSC register. [Source: Companies House]

PSC Structure

The two PSCs are: VMSIH Ltd (company 14895223), which holds 25–50% indirect ownership and is controlled by Michael John Padley (b. August 1953, British); and RJ-BAT Consulting Ltd (company 14889030), which holds 25–50% indirect ownership and is controlled by Alec Louw Theunissen (b. April 1966, South African). This PSC structure places additional corporate entities between the beneficial owners and the operating company. [Source: Companies House PSC register]

Michael Padley

Michael John Padley is the sole director of Lothbury Financial Services Ltd (06942180) and has been associated with various financial services activities. He resides in Matfield, Kent, and previously in Caterham. Notably, Matfield is approximately 700 metres from Alec Theunissen's location in Tunbridge Wells — an unusually close residential proximity for two co-controllers of the same company. Padley's VMSIH Ltd was incorporated in July 2023 and exists solely as a PSC vehicle for Three Tuns Investment Holdings. [Source: Companies House, public records]

Alec Theunissen

Alec Louw Theunissen is a South African national who manages the UK operations of the Corinth Group network. His RJ-BAT Consulting Ltd was incorporated in June 2023, also existing solely as a PSC vehicle. Theunissen has been associated with 35+ UK companies, with 30+ dissolved. His Companies House officer record is split across two separate officer IDs. [Source: Companies House]

Indirect Swiss Control

While Padley and Theunissen are the documented UK beneficial owners, the broader network investigation shows that the Swiss operations are controlled by Martin Walter Model through his wife Jurate Kairiene (sole signatory of all Swiss AGs). The relationship between the UK PSC structure and Swiss operations is documented through shared entity names, shared addresses, and the entity chain linking Corinth Group to Three Tuns. Multiple independent sources describe Model as the directing mind behind the entire network, with Theunissen managing UK-facing activities.
