"The carpet fitting business belonging to the family of Mick Barton the Reform UK leader of Nottinghamshire county council who barred the main local paper has been threatened with a compulsory strike off from Companies House for four consecutive years. Mansfield Carpets (Contracts) Limited, which is owned by Barton's wife Gail, is two months late filing its 2024 accounts. For the previous three years the business also appears to have been late publishing its confirmation statement, which provides details of a company's shareholders."
"I've been self-employed since I left British Coal in 1992, after 10 years underground. I then became a sales director of a worldwide vehicle supply company for 10 years, before starting my own flooring supply and fitting company. This, my wife still runs today, as local government takes up most of my time. I'm still involved with the company, doing the estimating and surveying and overlooking the contract side."
Mansfield Carpets (Contracts) Limited, owned by Gail Barton, has faced four consecutive years of threatened compulsory strike off from Companies House for late filings, including two months' late 2024 accounts and prior delayed confirmation statements. All four delayed filings are criminal offences in law, though rarely prosecuted; previous strike-off actions were discontinued after filings were made. The company has no directors and shows a county court judgment for £497. Mick Barton registered Mansfield Carpets Limited last year but resigned as director after the local elections; Gail Barton is now sole director. Several past Mansfield-named flooring companies with Gail Barton as director were dissolved.
