Thank you Alison for your tireless efforts to expose any conflicts of interest within government officials. The term “ independent” seems highly questionable for Mariza.

That is absolutely astounding!!! How can they get away with it in broad daylight? Surely Companies House will pick it up and act accordingly? or is this a broken system???

I think we all assume that journalists do due diligence and will pick up and report on basic omissions like this. I know I certainly thought that, until I started looking for myself. Fraudsters rely on our laziness and laugh at our impotence when it is discovered as the systems are primed not to react.

It needs to be raised with Ofgem. I've guessed at her email address and sent a link of the report to Marzia for her comments.

Maybe not Companies House, sorry, but this whole story smells to high hell!!!

Great work again Alison thank you. It's impossible for me to imagine that Marzia Zafar is (knowingly or negligently) faultless in this very messy business. On the contrary.

Ofgem is clearly highly compromised, and working against the interests of the public, in very many ways.

Moreover Companies House enables conflicts of interest and lack of transparency, and substantial frauds against honest taxpayers.

Huge gratitude for your investigative brilliance, tenacity, and attention to detail.

Hear hear Alan. Alison gets to places where others fear to tread 👊 her post on the Chairman of GSK was a masterpiece, followed up by direct questions at the most senior level. It was fobbed off by the usual smoke and mirrors, but Sir Jonathan Symonds card is marked. It seems to me that all this corporate fraud operates across energy, defence, big pharma, and others you can probably think of. Thanks for pointing our her great work, Alan 👍👌
