John Edward Clancy: His Four Trusts and company ownership links revealed
John Edward Clancy has set up four trusts which own all but two of the many companies he directs. These unnamed trusts, for the purpose of our Society’s analysis, are given the following names based on the “trustee services” companies involved in their formation: (1) “Clancy Trust” [Clancy Trustee Company Ltd] (2) “FJ40 Trust” [FJ40 Trustees Ltd], (3) “MF24 Trust” [MF24 Trustees Ltd] and (4) “FUBA Trust” [FUBA Trustees Ltd].
Here are links to two PDFs that set out the various ownership connections. [Note: Because Trusts are not “legal persons” they cannot by law be recorded by name on the Companies Office Register as holding/owning shares. Instead, the full legal names and residential addresses of the trustees of the trust are required to be recorded by the company directors as holding the shares on behalf of the (unnamed) beneficiaries of the trust].
