Ownership and company checks

Ashton is run by Anthony Toby Homes Trust (company 05062777), incorporated in 2004, 6 years before this service registered with CQC.

At Companies House, the company is listed as active, its accounts are filed on time, it has 6 active directors and there is no insolvency history.

Its registered business activity is other human health activities and care for people with learning disabilities, mental health problems or substance misuse.

Anthony Toby Homes Trust runs 2 CQC-registered services; 2 of the 2 with a rating are Good or Outstanding (100%), against 83% for the same mix of services across England.

All 2 are in Wokingham, so it is a local operator rather than a national chain.
