The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church teaches separation from the world. Its members do not vote, do not join the armed forces and do not eat with outsiders. The family at the head of it has spent six years moving from office interiors to personal protective equipment to COVID tests to solar farms to data centres. The newest business supplies drones to the United States Army.
The contract
In August the US Army awarded Integrate DG LLC an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract worth up to $27.8 million for Alphawing uncrewed aircraft systems, support equipment and field service personnel. It was placed by Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, with a completion date of 30 October 2026.
The Army put the work out to bid online. One company bid.
The defence trade press noticed, and could not work out who had won. Defence Blog headlined its report "U.S. Army buys mystery drones from little-known Integrate DG". The Hartford Business Journal described it as a company with Stamford ties. The Army has not released technical specifications for the variant it is buying.
Integrate DG describes itself as a defence engineering firm building autonomous air and sea systems, with offices in the United States, Britain, Australia, France and Germany. Its British arm, Integrate DG Ltd, filed accounts for the year to 30 June 2025 showing two employees.
Who runs it
Companies that want to sell to NATO and US defence buyers register for a CAGE code — a supplier identifier that carries a named contact. Integrate DG has two.
| Registration | Named contact | What Santé Global's website says they do |
|---|---|---|
| Integrate DG, United Kingdom | Roisin Butcher [email protected] | Head of Finance, Santé |
| Integrate DG, United States | Georgia Markham [email protected] | Finance, Santé |
Santé Global has a CAGE registration of its own. Its listed contacts are [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected].
So the same person, Santé's Head of Finance, is the named defence-registration contact for both companies, under two different email domains.
The accounts close the circle. Integrate DG Ltd's financial statements for the year to 30 June 2025 are signed by Mr Scott Haughton, Director. Santé Global's website lists Scott Haughton as its General Manager.
Three of the people whose names appear on Integrate DG's paperwork — in finance, in the US, and in the director's chair — appear on Santé's own staff page.
Where Santé came from
In the spring of 2020 a company called Unispace Global, whose ordinary business was fitting out offices, was referred into the Cabinet Office's high-priority lane for PPE suppliers. The referral came through Michael Gove's office. Unispace went on to receive contracts reported at around £670 million — the largest of any firm to come through that route.
Companies House records Gareth James Hales — born April 1978, resident in Australia, correspondence address Level 14, 1 Alfred Street, Sydney — as a person with significant control of Unispace Global Limited from 6 April 2016 to 2 March 2021. The nature of that control is given in one line and one line only: "Has significant influence or control." No shareholding. No voting rights. The only other registered controller was Anthony George Hazell, at between 25 and 50 per cent of the shares.
Gareth Hales is a son of Bruce Hales, the Sydney businessman who is the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church's worldwide leader and the man whose declaration, under the trust deed the Charity Commission approved, conclusively determines who may be a trustee of a British gospel hall.
On 2 March 2021 both entries ceased and Pagac Urban Holding (UK) Ltd — the British vehicle of PAG, the Hong Kong private equity group — was notified as holding 75% or more. That is the sale, dated to the day.
By then the PPE contracts had been novated to a new Hales business, Santé Global, which also took US PPE work. Santé went on to win COVID testing contracts in Australia, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The British contract was cancelled and ended in litigation, settled on terms the government has not published.
Santé was already in defence
Before Integrate DG existed, Santé Global had a defence business under its own name. A page on its website, captured by the Internet Archive on 23 September 2023 and since removed, was headed DEFENCE SUPPLY and opened:
"Santé Defense is a leading supplier of specialist military equipment and combat gear to professional international militaries and government defense departments across the globe."
It said its capabilities covered "tactical clothing, tactical optics, robotics & military vehicles", and described a "Defense Division" supplying military rations and MREs to governments. The same site carried an image file named for a rocket.
And the relationship with American defence procurement started earlier still. A Santé case study, archived from 2021, records the client as the USA Defense Logistics Agency and the job as 40 million isolation gowns — five million a month from October 2020 to January 2021, made "Berry Compliant" to US-only supply chain rules, in plants in Chicago, Orange County and Texas.
So the sequence runs: PPE to the Pentagon's logistics agency in 2020; a self-described military equipment division by 2023; and a separate company selling drones to the US Army in 2026.
Then the sectors changed
From 2022 Santé moved into three new areas: solar farms, data centres and defence. The solar business has grown in Australia, the United States and Britain. The data centre work runs alongside other Brethren member-owned companies — Woodalls, Connected Global, owned by the Grace family, and Parratech — which matters later in this article. The defence work began modestly, with USAID contracts for tents and basic supplies for Ukraine.
Integrate DG is what came next, and it arrived in two countries at once. Integrate DG Pty Ltd was registered in New South Wales and Integrate DG Ltd was incorporated in London on the same day — 10 August 2022. The Australian director was a Santé employee, Lloyd Hutchison; the British director was Santé's chief financial officer Anton Dible, later replaced by Scott Haughton. Then came the United States, where the principal is Ross Markham, formerly of Unispace USA.
Interior fit-out. PPE. COVID tests. Solar. Fire safety. Data centres. Drones.
What it actually ships
Company filings record what a business is registered to do. HMRC's overseas trade data records what it physically moves across a border. Integrate DG Ltd's record runs from July 2023 to July 2026, and it is the clearest account anywhere of what the company became.
| Period | Direction | Goods |
|---|---|---|
| Jul 2023 – Dec 2025 | Import | Structures and parts of structures, iron or steel — nine separate months |
| Feb 2024 | Export | Wooden packing cases |
| Jan, Feb, Mar 2025 | Export | Aircraft propellers and rotors; parts of aeroplanes, helicopters or unmanned aircraft |
| Mar 2025 | Import | Parts of unmanned aircraft |
| Feb, Mar, Jul 2026 | Import | Aluminium structures and articles of aluminium |
| Jan, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul 2026 | Export | Parts of unmanned aircraft — six months of the year |
| Jan, Jul 2026 | Export | Moulds for rubber or plastics |
| Apr, Jun 2026 | Export | Lithium-ion accumulators |
| Jun 2026 | Export | Chapter 93 — arms and ammunition (commodity code 9306 90 90) |
Read it forwards and the company turns from one thing into another in plain sight. Structural steel coming in through 2023 and 2024 — the material of an interiors contractor. Then, from January 2025, propellers, rotors and parts of unmanned aircraft going out. By 2026 it is exporting drone parts in six months of the year, with lithium-ion batteries and plastic moulds alongside them, and importing aluminium instead of steel.
The aircraft exports begin eight months before the US Army contract was reported, a year before the £3.36 million share issue, and at a point when the company's own accounts showed two employees and net liabilities of £488,052.
And in June 2026 it filed an export declaration under Chapter 93 of the tariff: arms and ammunition.
Precisely what that line covers is worth stating carefully, because the tariff makes a distinction the headline chapter does not. Heading 9306 covers bombs, grenades, torpedoes, mines, missiles and other ammunition and projectiles. Beneath it, 9306 90 10 is the line for goods "for military purposes", which carries no duty. 9306 90 90 is the line for everything else, and carries 2%. The declaration was made on 9306 90 90, and HMRC's own trader page describes it as "ammunition and projectiles, and parts, n.e.s. (excl. for military purposes)."
So on the face of the record, a company exporting drone components to order filed one shipment of ammunition and declared it as not being for military use — on the line that costs more rather than the one that costs nothing.
Exporting military goods from the United Kingdom requires a licence from the Export Control Joint Unit. Licensing data is published in aggregate by destination and rating; it does not name exporters, so there is no public means of establishing whether this company holds one. We have asked.
The trade data carries no values and no volumes — only the month, the direction and the commodity code. It says what crossed the border, not how much.
The advisory board
For a company with two employees, Integrate DG has assembled a notable advisory board. Its website lists Simon Blagden CBE, a long-standing Conservative Party donor, alongside former senior military figures including Bob Bond and Michael Noonan.
That board arrived shortly before the Army contract. It is a considerable amount of standing for a company with two employees to attract, and it was assembled by somebody.
The circuit
Over about five weeks this autumn, three companies in the same orbit each convened investors, developers and politicians to discuss the same thing: how to get data centres and energy infrastructure built faster, and what is standing in the way. They did it in four cities on two continents, and they posted the results on their own corporate accounts.
| Host | Event | Where | Opened or led by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connected | Critical Industries: The Race to Deliver | Sydney, then Melbourne series closed late September | Professor The Hon Greg Hunt, with Andrew Dyer, Tom O'Halloran, Emma Bedford and Andrew Green |
| Woodalls | Investors, Developers and Occupiers Forum | The Corinthia, London 1 October 2026 | Rt Hon Tom Tugendhat MBE MP, keynote — billed on Woodalls' own slide as Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs; panel incl. Simon Blagden CBE and Steve Norris |
| Santé Group | Critical Path, Critical Load — Santé Executive Forum | Capella Sydney posted 2 October 2026 | Professor The Hon Greg Hunt, opening |
| Connected | Connected Conversations (podcast) | — published c. 8 October 2026 | Emma Bedford with Andrew Green, on the data centre pipeline and the labour shortage |
Two names recur. Simon Blagden CBE sits on Integrate DG's advisory board and on Woodalls' London panel. Professor the Hon Greg Hunt opened Connected's Melbourne event and Santé's Sydney forum — two separate companies, two cities, inside a fortnight.
So did the argument. Woodalls told London that capital is not the problem, delivery is, that UK grid demand has "jumped from 41GW to 125GW" and connections "can take 5 to 10 years", and that this is "exactly why we believe in early contractor involvement". Santé told Sydney there are "up to 28 approvals between consent and occupation" and that a workers' camp can take "12 to 18 months or more from consent to its first occupant", which is why "we plan camps and modular compute alongside approvals and early works, not after them". Connected told Melbourne the headwinds were capacity, the cost of finance and, for data centres, "community acceptance", and that the answers lay in "public-private partnerships in healthcare, greater collaboration and creating models built for speed that minimise risk".
Three companies, four rooms, one proposition: bring us in before the approvals.
Greg Hunt was Australia's Minister for Health and Aged Care from 2017 to 2022. Santé Global won COVID testing contracts in Australia during that period — in partnership with Westlab Pty Ltd, a company owned by the Grace family, who also own Connected Global.
So the former health minister who opened Santé's forum in Sydney, and opened Connected's event in Melbourne, is the minister who held the health portfolio while those two families' businesses were jointly supplying the Australian government with COVID tests. Connected's account of the Melbourne discussion — which covered "public-private partnerships in healthcare" — quotes him saying "Nothing is too big to fail."
Sitting beside him on that Melbourne panel was Andrew Dyer, who states on his own public profile that for the past ten years he has served as "the Australian Energy Infrastructure Commissioner for the Federal Government", and who was previously the Victorian Government's Commissioner to the Americas. The Energy Infrastructure Commissioner's function is to handle complaints and concerns from communities about energy infrastructure projects.
Connected's own account of that event names the headwinds its panel discussed. One of them, "in the world of data centres", was community acceptance.
There is nothing improper in any of this, and none is alleged. Politicians speak at business conferences, former ministers take academic and advisory posts, and companies recruit the people who know how the approvals work. It is worth setting down only because of who is in the rooms. This is a church whose members do not vote, do not stand for office and are taught to remain separate from the world. Over five weeks its leading family's businesses hosted a serving British MP, a Conservative party donor, a former British transport minister, a former Australian health minister — twice — and the Commonwealth officeholder responsible for community concerns about energy infrastructure, in four cities, to talk about power, data, healthcare partnerships, community acceptance and the speed of the state's approval processes.
These are not neighbouring companies
It would be possible to read all of that as coincidence: separate firms in a hot sector, booking the same kind of room. The paperwork says otherwise.
On 25 March 2026 a limited liability partnership called Santé Trading Group LLP was incorporated at 4 The Courtyard, Eastern Road, Bracknell — the address of Santé Global LLP and of the companies that until 2021 carried the Unispace Health name. It has two designated members, both appointed that day:
| Designated member | Born | Resident | Also |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hales, Gareth James | April 1978 | Australia | Son of the church's leader; registered controller of Unispace Global 2016–21 |
| Woodcock, Hans Daniel | November 2000 | United Kingdom | Managing Director of Woodalls |
Gareth Hales is also recorded as the LLP's person with significant control, and here the register is filled in completely: ownership of voting rights — 75% or more; right to surplus assets — 75% or more; right to appoint or remove members.
That matters, because it shows the boxes get ticked properly when the intention is to tick them. At Unispace Global, Gareth Hales' entry said only "has significant influence or control". At Integrate DG, Scott Haughton's says only "has significant influence or control", while the confirmation statements show he held every voting share in the company. At Santé Trading Group, where Gareth Hales plainly does control the thing, the register says so in three lines. The sparse entries are not the house style.
There is one more small correspondence. The identity of Gareth James Hales was verified for Companies House on 4 February 2026 by an authorised corporate service provider, D Montgomery Ltd. The identity of Scott Gavin Haughton was verified by the same provider on 5 January 2026 — a month earlier, and ten days after the £3.36 million share issue.
Two generations of the same two families
Unispace Global Limited was incorporated on 27 July 2011. It had two directors, both appointed that day, both giving the same London address at Duke House, Tabard Street:
| Director | Born | Appointed | Resigned |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parsons, Cyril David | February 1965 | 27 July 2011 (incorporation) | 1 January 2013 |
| Woodcock, Garth Oliver | September 1965 | 27 July 2011 (incorporation) | 16 December 2016 |
| Parsons, Sebastian | May 1989 | 5 June 2014 | 2 March 2021 (the sale) |
| Woodcock, Dale James | September 1977 | 5 June 2014 | 16 October 2019 |
| Hazell, Anthony George | January 1984 | 12 June 2013 | 2 March 2021 (the sale) |
Two surnames, incorporating the company together in 2011; the same two surnames, joining the board together on the same day in 2014. Cyril Parsons is Sebastian Parsons' father.
Follow those two names forward fifteen years and they have not gone anywhere.
Sebastian Parsons left Unispace on the day of the sale. His email address, [email protected], is one of the four listed contacts on Santé Global's CAGE defence supplier registration — the same registration whose finance contact is also the named contact for Integrate DG.
Dale Woodcock is a Regional Principal at Woodalls, on its published leadership page. Hans Woodcock — Garth Woodcock's son — is Woodalls' Managing Director, and the designated member of Santé Trading Group LLP alongside Gareth Hales. He was born in November 2000, and was ten years old when his father incorporated Unispace Global.
Anthony George Hazell, born January 1984, was a Unispace director from June 2013 and, until the day of the sale, the registered holder of between 25 and 50 per cent of its shares.
So the pattern is three deep on one side: Garth Woodcock incorporates the company in 2011; Dale Woodcock joins the board in 2014 and is a Regional Principal at Woodalls today; Hans Woodcock runs Woodalls and signs the Bracknell LLP with Gareth Hales.
And the two men whose names sit on the paperwork of the newest ventures were children when the first one was incorporated. Scott Haughton, sole shareholder of a company selling drones to the US Army, was born in February 2000. Hans Woodcock was born in November 2000. Neither is recorded anywhere as owning what he appears to run — Haughton's control is registered as "influence", and Hans Woodcock's LLP is controlled, on the register, by Gareth Hales.
The staff came too
Unispace was sold in March 2021. Its people did not all go with it. Current senior Woodalls staff list, on their own public profiles, the following previous employment:
- a Regional Principal who was at Woodalls Design until 2011, spent nine years as Commercial Director of Unispace, and returned to Woodalls in June 2023;
- a Principal Business Development who spent five years and eight months at Unispace, latterly as Principal, Client Engagement EMEA, until December 2024;
- a Head of Technical Design who spent nine years at Unispace, latterly as Regional Principal, Design — EMEA;
- a Principal, Client Relations who spent six years at Unispace until December 2021;
- and a Zurich-based Principal who went Unispace → Project Director at Santé Group → Woodalls, arriving in June 2024.
That last route is the whole structure in one career: the company that won the PPE contracts, the company the contracts were novated to, and the company now building the data centres.
And they run events together
The autumn forums were not the first. In March 2026, Woodalls and Connected jointly hosted an event called LabWorks: Rewriting the rules for lab environments at the Science Gallery in London. The invitation carries both logos under the words "HOSTED BY". Woodalls' write-up afterwards thanks "our co-hosts Connected".
So when Connected convened ministers in Melbourne and Sydney, Woodalls convened an MP in London, and Santé convened the same former minister as Connected in Sydney, these were not three firms that happened to be interested in the same subject. They are companies that share an address, a staff pipeline, a conference series and, in Santé Trading Group LLP, a designated member — and, in the case of Santé and the Grace family's businesses, a government contract.
Set out plainly, it is a closed shape. Santé and Woodalls are joined by Santé Trading Group LLP, where Gareth Hales and Hans Woodcock are the two designated members, and by two generations of the Woodcock and Parsons families through Unispace. Santé and Connected Global are joined by the Grace family's Westlab, Santé's partner on the Australian COVID testing contracts. Woodalls and Connected are joined by a co-hosted conference series running since at least March 2026. And Integrate DG — two employees, a $27.8 million US Army contract, and 300 voting shares nobody has claimed — is staffed, on its defence registrations and its accounts, entirely by Santé.
What the register shows, and what it does not
Integrate DG Ltd is registered in England and Wales as company 14289159, at International House, 36–38 Cornhill, London — an address that provides registered offices. Its accounts to 30 June 2025 are unaudited under the small companies exemption.
They are worth reading slowly. The company has two employees. At 30 June 2025 it had net liabilities of £488,052. And it carries £3,412,997 of creditors falling due after more than one year, up from £1,750,000, described in the notes as bank loans. Cash stood at £4,165,196, against £151,444 a year earlier.
A company with a hundred-odd pounds of share capital and negative net assets does not ordinarily raise three and a half million pounds on its own covenant. Either the borrowing is secured on something, or somebody stood behind it. There is no security: the company's charges register shows nothing registered, nothing outstanding. The accounts, being unaudited, do not name a guarantor.
Three and a third million pounds, and nobody's name on it
The share register is where it gets strange.
The company was incorporated in August 2022 with 100 ordinary shares, all held by Anton Dible, who was also its only director and was recorded at Companies House as a person with significant control holding more than 75% of the shares and votes.
On 20 December 2024 three things happened on the same day. Dible transferred all 100 ordinary shares to Scott Haughton. Dible resigned as a director. And Dible ceased to be a person with significant control. The confirmation statement filed that day records the transfer in terms: "100 transferred on 2024-12-20 … 0 ORDINARY shares held".
Scott Haughton was then 24 years old. Companies House gives his date of birth as February 2000.
From that date Haughton held every voting share in the company. But the entry made for him on the register of people with significant control does not say so. It gives his nature of control as "has significant influence or control" — and nothing else. Not ownership of shares. Not ownership of voting rights. Those are the boxes a sole shareholder ticks, and neither was ticked.
In May 2025 the company passed resolutions increasing its share capital, authorising an allotment, removing pre-emption rights — the right of existing shareholders to be offered new shares first — and adopting new articles of association. Its issued capital after that was 112 shares: 100 ordinary and 12 ordinary A. The confirmation statement made on 20 December 2025 shows all 112 held by Scott Haughton.
Ten days later, on 30 December 2025, the company issued shares. The return filed on 6 January 2026 sets out what was allotted:
| Class | Number allotted | Paid per share | Total paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary | 300 | £10,000 | £3,000,000 |
| Ordinary A | 36 | £10,000 | £360,000 |
| Total subscribed, in cash | £3,360,000 | ||
The form records against each class: "No shares allotted other than for cash". Nothing was left unpaid. Total share capital after the allotment: 448 shares, aggregate nominal value £3,360,112.
The two classes are not the same thing, and the return spells out the difference. The ordinary shares carry "one vote per share" and, on a winding up, "any surplus remaining available for distribution to shareholders". The ordinary A shares carry "no voting rights", and on a winding up get back only the amount paid up on them and "no further entitlement".
So the A shares are money without control. The ordinary shares are the control. And after 30 December 2025 there are 400 ordinary shares in issue, of which Scott Haughton holds 100.
Somebody holds the other 300 — three quarters of the votes, and three quarters of anything the company is ever worth. The public register does not say who.
No notification of a new person with significant control has been filed. The register today still shows one name, Scott Haughton, still with nature of control given only as "significant influence or control", and no shareholding. The next confirmation statement is not due until December 2026.
There is a precedent for that wording, and it is close to home. When Gareth Hales was registered as a person with significant control of Unispace Global, his entry said the same thing and nothing else: has significant influence or control — no shares, no votes. Two companies, a decade apart, in two different industries, with the same single box ticked and no number beside it. Later in this article there is a third filing, from March 2026, where the same register is completed in full — which is what makes the first two worth noticing.
There are two readings of that, and we do not know which is right. The 300 shares may have gone to a single party, in which case a PSC notification was required within fourteen days and has not appeared. Or they may have been split among enough holders that no one of them reaches the 25% threshold at which disclosure begins — a structure which, if it were the intention, would have exactly that effect.
What can be said is this. A company with two employees and negative net assets carried £3,412,997 of unsecured borrowing described as bank loans. Six months after that balance sheet date, £3,360,000 in cash was subscribed for shares that had to be created and pre-emption rights removed to issue. The two figures are within two per cent of each other. And the register does not name the person who put the money in.
The Australian company says it out loud
British company law lets an owner stay off the register by staying under a threshold. Australian company law asks a blunter question, and Integrate DG has answered it.
Integrate DG Pty Ltd, ACN 661 603 676, was registered in New South Wales on 10 August 2022 — the same day as the British company — at Level 26, 1–7 Bligh Street, Sydney. Its sole director and secretary is Lloyd Gordon Hutchison, born December 1977, who describes himself on his own professional profile as Head of Strategy & Growth at Santé Group.
The company has 100 ordinary shares. Hutchison holds all of them, in four separate parcels. And against every parcel, the ASIC register records the same answer to the question of whether he holds them for himself:
| Member | Class | Number held | Beneficially held | Paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lloyd Gordon Hutchison | ORD | 45 | no | Fully |
| Lloyd Gordon Hutchison | ORD | 15 | no | Fully |
| Lloyd Gordon Hutchison | ORD | 20 | no | Fully |
| Lloyd Gordon Hutchison | ORD | 20 | no | Fully |
ASIC requires a company to state whether each member holds their shares beneficially — that is, for themselves. Integrate DG Pty Ltd has declared, on the public record, that the man holding every share in it holds none of them for himself. He is a nominee. The people he holds them for are not named anywhere on the register, and nothing requires them to be.
Four parcels rather than one block is the shape you get when a single nominee holds for more than one beneficial owner: 45, 15, 20 and 20.
So place the two registers side by side. In Britain, a Santé employee holds every voting share and the control register declines to call it ownership, then 300 more voting shares go to somebody unnamed. In Australia, a Santé employee holds every share and the register states in terms that he is not the owner.
Two companies, incorporated on the same day in two hemispheres, to sell drones to the United States Army. Neither register names who owns them. One of them says so explicitly.
Nor does it show any Hales. Not as a director, not as a shareholder, not on the face of the accounts.
That is not, in itself, evidence of anything. Companies are routinely owned by people who do not direct them. But it sits oddly beside the rest: a defence company whose registration contacts in two countries are Santé's finance staff, whose British accounts are signed by Santé's General Manager, and whose first directors in three jurisdictions were a Santé employee, Santé's chief financial officer and a former principal of the Hales brothers' previous company.
And one more, 13.8% below the line
Anton Dible, who was Integrate DG Ltd's first British director and is named on Santé Global's defence registration, was appointed a director of Harmony Fire Limited on 20 January 2026 — three weeks after the Integrate DG share issue. Harmony Fire is one of the faster-growing fire safety businesses in Europe and a substantial winner of government contracts.
Harmony Fire's register of people with significant control names no individual at all. Follow it upwards and it runs: Harmony Fire Limited ← Poyntington Holdings Ltd, at 75% or more ← Maperton Holdings Limited, at between 50 and 75% ← Jake Melvin and Warwick Melvin, the brothers who founded the business. No Hales at any level.
But the PSC register only records holdings of 25% or more. A confirmation statement lists every shareholder, however small. Poyntington's, filed on 30 May 2025, shows what the PSC register does not:
| Shareholder | Shares | Share of votes |
|---|---|---|
| Maperton Holdings Ltd (the Melvins) | 550 B Ordinary | 50.6% |
| Clanalpine Investments Pty Ltd | 150 A Ordinary | 13.8% |
| Jake Melvin | 100 A Ordinary | 9.2% |
| Warwick Melvin | 100 A Ordinary | 9.2% |
| Kathryn Lock – Westwood Investments Trust | 100 A Ordinary | 9.2% |
| Curtis Hughes / Rohan Hughes | 87 C Ordinary | 8.0% |
Clanalpine Investments Pty Ltd is an Australian company, ACN 653779992, registered at 14 Clanalpine Street, Eastwood, New South Wales.
An extract from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission register for Charles John Hales records him as a current and beneficial holder of ordinary shares in Clanalpine Investments Pty Ltd, and in two further companies at that same address — Alpine Holdings Pty Ltd and Alpine Holdings No. 3 Pty Ltd — with a former holding in a third, Archway House Group Pty Ltd.
So the name is there. It is just one company and eleven thousand miles further out than the British register reaches, attached to a holding of 13.8% — a fraction under the 25% at which Companies House would have had to print it.
Questions for Integrate DG
These are the questions the documents leave open. Integrate DG Ltd, Integrate DG LLC, Santé Global, Harmony Fire Limited and the press office of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church are invited to answer any of them, and any answer will be published here in full and unedited.
- Who holds the 300 ordinary shares allotted on 30 December 2025, carrying 75% of Integrate DG Ltd's votes?
- Who provided the £3,412,997 recorded as bank loans in the accounts to 30 June 2025, and on what security?
- Was any part of that borrowing converted into, repaid out of, or otherwise connected with the £3,360,000 subscribed for shares on 30 December 2025?

The Harmony Fire ownership chain is taken from the registers of persons with significant control of Harmony Fire Limited (10427303), Poyntington Holdings Ltd (12634999) and Maperton Holdings Limited (13767325), from Poyntington's confirmation statement made on 29 May 2025, and from its return of allotment of shares of 1 October 2024, which sets out the rights attaching to its A, B and C ordinary shares. Charles John Hales' shareholding in Clanalpine Investments Pty Ltd is taken from a historical personal name extract from the register of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, extracted on 28 July 2025; ASIC notes that such an extract may relate to more than one person of that name. The registration date, registered office, officeholders, share structure and members of Integrate DG Pty Ltd (ACN 661 603 676), including the record that all 100 shares are held non-beneficially, are taken from a current and historical company extract from the ASIC database. Supplier contacts are taken from publicly searchable CAGE registrations for Integrate DG and Santé Global, and staff roles from the companies' own websites as published at the date of this article. The import and export record is taken from HM Revenue & Customs overseas trade statistics as published on uktradeinfo.com for Integrate DG Ltd, which give the month, direction and commodity code of each movement but no values or volumes; the descriptions and duty rates for commodity codes 9306 90 10 and 9306 90 90 are those of the UK Integrated Online Tariff. Accounts of the forums, including all quoted phrases, speakers and attributed statistics, are taken from the companies' own public posts on their corporate LinkedIn accounts: Woodalls, published 1 October 2026; Santé Group, published 2 October 2026; and Connected, published in late September and early October 2026. Where a company's post gives only a relative date, the article describes the timing in those terms rather than assigning a specific one. The LabWorks event of March 2026 is taken from Woodalls' own event invitation and follow-up post, both of which name Connected as co-host. Andrew Dyer's and the Woodalls staff members' previous roles are taken from their own public professional profiles; the Woodalls leadership roles, including that of Hans Woodcock, from the company's own website. Membership, dates of birth and control of Santé Trading Group LLP (OC460120) are taken from its entries in the Companies House register of members and register of persons with significant control, as are the identity-verification records for Gareth James Hales and Scott Gavin Haughton. The directorships, dates of birth and dates of appointment and resignation at Unispace Global Limited are taken from that company's register of officers, including resigned officers. Where this article states a family relationship — Cyril and Sebastian Parsons, Garth and Hans Woodcock — or states the ownership of Westlab Pty Ltd and Connected Global, those facts are established independently of the Companies House register; where the article sets out only names, dates of birth and dates of appointment, it states those facts and draws no further conclusion from them. The US Army contract was reported by Defence Blog and the Hartford Business Journal. Quotations from Santé Global's defence pages are taken from Internet Archive captures of 23 September 2023 and 9 June 2023; those pages are no longer on the live site. The circumstances of Unispace Global's referral to the Cabinet Office high-priority lane and the value of the contracts awarded have been reported previously, including by the Good Law Project and Byline Times. This article makes no allegation that any person or company named in it has acted unlawfully.
