Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.

  • Authorisation restored on 17 March 2026
    An annulment application was accepted by the Authority and the firm’s authorisation was restored on 17 March 2026.

    The Authority has cancelled the permission and withdrawn the authorisation of Accell UK & Ireland Ltd (previously known as Raleigh UK Ltd) “the Firm” of Durban House, Mansfield Road, Eastwood, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG16 3DZ. The reason for this action is that the Authority considers the Firm is carrying on no regulated activities to which its Part 4A permission relates.    The Authority’s action took effect on 7 April 2025 and a copy of the Notice of Decision issued under Schedule 6A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the Act), which sets out the reason for the action, is displayed on the Authority’s website and can be accessed using the following link:  https://www.fca.org.uk/publication/decision-notices/accell-uk-ireland-ltd-2025.pdf   As a consequence of this action the Firm is no longer an authorised firm for the purposes of the Act and it may not carry on regulated activities which fall within the scope of the Act.
