Reform UK council leader's family firm threatened with strike-off

The carpet-fitting business belonging to the family of the Reform UK leader of Nottinghamshire county council has been threatened with a compulsory strike-off from Companies House for four successive years.

Mansfield Carpets, which is owned by Mick Barton’s wife, Gail, is two months late in 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.

All four of the delayed filings are technically criminal offences, albeit ones that are rarely pursued. In the three previous years, the compulsory strike-off action was discontinued after the filings were made.
