Alec Louw Theunissen
UK Managing Director / Director of 32+ UK Companies
Alec Louw Theunissen (born April 1966) is a South African national based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. He holds the title of Managing Director at the Corinth Group of Switzerland and is listed on the company's website [corinthinvest.com]. He holds a BA in Economics and Education from the University of Johannesburg (1983–1987) [LinkedIn]. No financial professional qualifications have been identified, and he is not FCA-approved [FCA register].
Theunissen has been director of 32+ UK companies, of which 30+ are dissolved or in liquidation [Companies House]. His Companies House record spans five phases: pre-Corinth companies (2009–2018, all failed), a batch of "Rhea" dormant companies incorporated in April 2019 (later rebranded to "Three Tuns"), Corinth operational entities (November 2019), a wave of "JMA" dormant companies incorporated in batches during 2020 (all dissolved), and the current Three Tuns structure (2021–present) [Companies House].
Corinth Management Services Ltd (12297863), of which Theunissen was sole director, never filed a single set of accounts in over 6 years of existence and was placed into compulsory liquidation by court order in January 2026 [Companies House]. Three Tuns Investment Holdings Ltd (14242045), where he serves as co-director with Michael Padley, filed dormant accounts in June 2025 despite having active directors, PSC vehicles, a website, and a connected Cyprus RAIF fund [Companies House].
Theunissen has two separate Companies House officer IDs, splitting his directorship history across two records: one covering 7 companies from 2009–2018, and another covering 25+ companies from 2019 to present [Companies House officer records Nv1OzipDJHIt1x2NoHlP7zfvXjw and 13lZ-8tC-foBlucTeH8SD6DPfNk]. Both records show a date of birth of April 1966.
Before arriving in the UK (~2008–2009), Theunissen founded QSEP Capital in Johannesburg, a specialist infrastructure finance firm that was deregistered for annual return non-compliance [B2BHint]. In Kent, he coached rugby at Cranbrook RFC, where a local media report described him as "South African rugby coach Alec Theunissen" [Kent Online, ~2009]. His son Brendton Theunissen is listed as "Project Administrator" at the Corinth Group on LinkedIn [LinkedIn].
