Companies House: 33+ Dissolved Companies in the Corinth / Three Tuns Network

The UK Companies House register reveals a striking pattern of company creation and dissolution within the Corinth Group / Three Tuns network. Over 33 companies have been dissolved, struck off, or placed into liquidation, while the primary operating entity never filed annual accounts before being wound up by court order.

Scale of Company Activity

Alec Louw Theunissen, the UK Managing Director of the network, appears as director across 25+ companies on two separate Companies House officer profiles. This dual-profile arrangement — unusual for a single individual — splits his directorship history across two records [Companies House officer records: Nv1OzipDJHIt1x2NoHlP7zfvXjw (7 companies, 2009–2018) and 13lZ-8tC-foBlucTeH8SD6DPfNk (25 companies, 2019–present)].

Key Dissolved Entities

Corinth Management Services Ltd (12297863): The primary UK operating entity. Entered compulsory liquidation by court order in January 2026. A compulsory liquidation means a court determined the company could not pay its debts. This company never filed annual accounts with Companies House — a legal requirement for all UK limited companies [Companies House, company 12297863].

Centropa Investment Holdings Ltd (12886659): Dissolved November 2022. Marco Ernst Model was the sole PSC with 75%+ ownership. This entity was part of the Centropa brand, a predecessor to the current Three Tuns identity [Companies House, company 14242045].

Lonsdale Gate companies: Over 33 companies with Corinth, JMA, or related names were registered at Lonsdale Gate, Lonsdale Gardens, Tunbridge Wells TN1 1NU. Most are dissolved [Companies House address searches].

Pattern of Company Usage

The pattern across the UK entities includes: batch incorporation on identical dates (e.g., five SPVs on 19 May 2019), minimal or no annual account filings, no evidence of trading activity, and eventual dissolution or strike-off. Many companies appear to have served as special purpose vehicles (SPVs) for specific proposed transactions — transactions that, based on public records, do not appear to have been completed [Companies House filing records].

Companies Still Active

Several network companies remain active, including: Three Tuns Investment Holdings Ltd (14242045), Corinth Investment Management Services Ltd (12298047), and five SPVs directed by Justinas Kairys. Some active companies are subject to strike-off proceedings [Companies House].

HMRC Winding-Up Petitions

HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) issues winding-up petitions against companies that fail to pay taxes. The compulsory liquidation of Corinth Management Services Ltd in January 2026 may have been initiated by HMRC, though the specific petitioner is not always public [Companies House; Insolvency Service records].

How to Search

All UK company records are freely searchable at Companies House. Search by company name, company number, officer name, or registered address. Director misconduct can be reported to the Insolvency Service.
