Grant Cuthbert Rogers was proven guilty in his absence by magistrates in Cardiff.

The court heard the 60-year-old, as a director of company Prestige Developments (Global) Ltd, had been convicted of an offence under sections 441 and 451 of the Companies Act 2006 by failing to deliver a copy of every accounting document relating to the accounting period ending June 30, 2018, which were required to be sent to the registrar of companies.

He was further convicted of remaining in continued contravention of the requirements on June 11, 2021, after still failing to deliver the documents to the registrar of companies.

Magistrates found Rogers had also failed to deliver a copy of the company's accounts relating to the financial year ending June 30, 2020, to the registrar of companies at Companies House in Cardiff on June 30, 2021.

The case was adjourned as magistrates said they were considering making a disqualification order under section 5 of the Company Directors Disqualification Act.

Rogers, of Bannutree Lane, Bridstow, Ross-on-Wye, will appear before magistrates in Cardiff on May 27.
