Executive intelligence assessment
Active company, filings up to date. Ownership traces through one holding company to two individuals, neither sanctioned or a PEP. One commercial dispute is pending. The quality certification the company advertises could not be verified with the issuing body.
Key findings
Incorporated 2014, status active, last accounts filed on time in 2026.
FactConfidence: ConfirmedEvidence: E-C-0001
100% owned by Ostrava Fenwick Holdings Ltd, which is owned 60/40 by two individuals.
No sanctions, PEP or watchlist match for the entity, its officers or its owners in the lists screened.
FactConfidence: HighEvidence: E-C-0003
Defendant in a pending contract claim brought by a former customer over late deliveries.
FactConfidence: HighEvidence: E-C-0004
The website advertises a quality management certificate; the issuing body's public register does not list the company.
Chronology
Contradictions and alternative hypotheses
The certificate was issued under a trading name or a parent company and is listed under that name.
Partly tested: the parent name returned no listing either.
Intelligence gaps
- The outcome of the pending claim.
- Whether the certificate exists under a name not searched.
Analyst assessment
Moderate risk. Ownership is transparent and clean. Ask the supplier for the certificate itself and for its position on the pending claim before signing.
Reviewer sign-off: a real report cannot be sent until it passes the QA rules and a second person, not the analyst, signs it off. Both names and the sign-off time go on the cover. This sample carries none.

Grade is the Admiralty code, set by rule: reliability A to F from the source class, credibility 1 to 6 from how many other independent sources support the same claim. Hashes in this sample are illustrative. In a real report each is the SHA-256 of the stored capture. How grading works
