This company effectively no longer exists

It’s now been taken over by its former subsidiary Vanquis. 109.181.117.35 (talk) 17:00, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to the RNS and companies house it was a name change rather than a restructuring. I have merged the two articles. Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 18:43, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
