The figures the Guardian used for the Tax Gap database differ in a few cases from our own, which are derived from company returns. This may be because the Guardian has used the public annual reports from companies, which may define companies and subsidiaries slightly differently from annual returns to Companies House.

We have no record of union recognition at this company, though our records are not complete. As companies often trade under different names, you may get a better result trying a wider name search with our unionfinder tool. If you know this result to be in error, please notify us via the UnionScope.
Join a union: It's always best to join a union with recognition status, as they will be able to do more for you at the workplace, but there are still many benefits to joining a relevant union even without recognition.
Companies often split into several entities for legal or financial reasons, and so there can be many companies as part of the same family. These entities are listed as subsidiaries of this company.

As Peter Snow would say, "This is only a bit of fun".
We make every effort (within our limited budgets) to ensure this is accurate and reasonably up-to-date, though as we rely on a number of data sources, we cannot guarantee this. In other words there's a pretty good chance it's right, but it may not be the most up to date information available as new data takes a bit of time to show up here.
Read our full disclaimer and terms if you wish to find out more about why we've built this, how it works, and how to contact us about it.
