Lawrence Kenwright, founder of Liverpool’s Signature Group, has been banned from acting as a company director for five years after allowing his company to distribute false marketing material that caused investors to lose over £4.8 million. The Insolvency Service found Kenwright failed to ensure adequate corporate governance at Signature Works Gold Limited, which sold desk space in three Liverpool properties. Marketing claims falsely implied investors gained legal ownership of the properties, which were actually owned by separate companies. Signature Works Gold Limited was wound up in 2022 with liabilities exceeding £4.8 million. Kenwright, who signed a disqualification undertaking before his trial, is prohibited from involvement in company management without court permission. The ban, effective August 18, 2026, follows findings that his actions undermined investor trust.
