Government officials are to write to the company which supplies food to Daylesford Organics‘ farmshop, near Kingham, to remind directors Sir Anthony and Lady Bamford, to file accounts.

Records show Daylesford Organic Farms, which is registered in Monrovia, Liberia, has not filed accounts since December 2005.

A spokesman for Companies House, Claire Owen, said: “We will contact the company to remind it of the filing requirements and to try to ensure the company brings its record up to date.”

John Kavanagh, spokesman at JCB, the earth moving equipment company owned by Sir Anthony Bamford, said: “Daylesford Organic Farms is a farming company that was included as part of the acquisition of the Daylesford estate in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire by the Bamford family in the late 1980s. “The company had been registered by the previous owner in Liberia, which is still the case today.”

He added: “We are unaware of any issue with Companies House.”

Accounts filed at Companies House for the farmshop business Daylesford Organics, which employs about 290 people and owns shops in London and Munich as well as at Daylesford, show that it made pre-tax losses in 2008 of £9.9m. In 2007 losses were £3.4m, and in 2006, £3.4m.

Earlier this year Daylesford Organics opened a new farmshop in a rebuilt barn at Daylesford following a fire last September.
