1. Squire Energy Limited (company registration number 04786330) the registered office of which is Sentinel House, 10-12 Massetts Road, Horley, RH6 7DE, United Kingdom, has written to the Authority seeking its consent under Section 8AA of the Act to the transfer of the Gas Transporter licence granted to Squire Energy Limited pursuant to section 7(2) of the Act to Stark Infra-Gas Limited (company registration 11409096), the registered office of which is at Sentinel House, 10-12 Massetts Road, Horley, RH6 7DE, United Kingdom.
