What does this mean?

  • Central Garage (Newport) Limited (FRN 419570) is an AR of Ingeni Services Group Limited (FRN 747381). When you use Central Garage (Newport)'s services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Central Garage (Newport), complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
  • Before you proceed, confirm contact details match the official FCA register for both firms. Scammers sometimes clone legitimate AR names and FRNs but use fake phone numbers and websites.
