About us
A head office company in Caithness, holding business interests and carrying the administration that goes with them.
The company
The work of John Gunn and Sons is the work of a head office. The company holds business interests, keeps the ownership position behind them in order, and carries the administration that goes with holding them: records and registers, correspondence, and the returns a company is required to make.
That work is done at Swiney, near Lybster on the Caithness coast, and it is done in one place deliberately. Administration spread across several desks produces several versions of the same thing. Done once, it produces one.
How the company works
- Answers are given from the record, so the same question asked twice gets the same answer.
- Everything that arrives is logged and kept with the matter it belongs to.
- Where a question touches more than one interest, it is put together and answered once.
- Where an answer is not the company’s to give, the company says so plainly.
None of that is complicated. It is the ordinary discipline of a head office, and it is what makes an answer from this company worth putting on a file.
Who the head office deals with
The correspondence that reaches Swiney comes mostly from three directions.
Suppliers
Firms supplying the head office, and those asking who to invoice and where to send statements.
Advisers
Accountants, solicitors and other advisers needing the company’s details confirmed for their own file.
Public bodies
Correspondence about registers, filings and statutory returns, handled centrally.
Whatever the direction, it arrives in one place and is filed once.
