BIGBLU BROADBAND LIMITED
Bigblu Broadband Limited is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 09223439, incorporated on 17 September 2014. Companies House records the company as active. Since incorporation it has traded under several names: Cleeve Capital Limited (2014), Cleeve Capital PLC (2014-2015), Satellite Solutions Worldwide Group PLC (2015-2018) and Bigblu Broadband PLC (2018-2025), before reverting to its current name, Bigblu Broadband Limited, from 15 December 2025. Its registered office is at C/O Arch Law, Floor 2, 8 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4BQ. Companies House records the company’s principal activity under SIC code 61300, satellite telecommunications activities.
Bigblu Broadband Limited was previously listed on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM market as Bigblu Broadband PLC, under ticker BBB. Shareholders approved cancellation of the AIM admission and re-registration as a private company at a general meeting; dealings in the shares ended on 17 December 2025 and the conversion to private status was completed by 31 December 2025. The company subsequently arranged a JP Jenkins matched-bargain facility for continued off-market trading of its shares.
Following the disposal of its controlling interest in Australian broadband provider Skymesh to SKM Telecommunication Services Pty Ltd in December 2024, Bigblu Broadband Limited has described its ongoing activity as supporting retained minority shareholdings in Skymesh and Quickline, alongside managing a Starlink-related arrangement, rather than directly operating satellite or rural broadband services.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Bigblu Broadband Limited
Companies House lists one active person with significant control for Bigblu Broadband Limited: Mr Christopher Harwood Bernard Mills, notified on 4 September 2025, disclosed as holding more than 25% but not more than 50% of the company’s shares and voting rights. Companies House does not itself publish a complete shareholder register; UK companies disclose only persons or entities meeting the statutory PSC ownership or voting thresholds, so holders of smaller stakes are not identified in this filing. The company had previously filed a statement that it knew of no registrable person (notified 24 July 2017); this statement was withdrawn on 4 September 2025 when the current PSC entry was added, consistent with the company’s recent re-registration from a public, AIM-listed company to a private limited company. As of the filing reviewed on 22 September 2026, no other PSC entries are recorded.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Mr Christopher Harwood Bernard Mills is disclosed as a direct person with significant control, holding more than 25% but not more than 50% of shares and voting rights, as notified to Companies House on 4 September 2025.

Data availability
Major shareholders only: Companies House publishes persons with significant control meeting statutory disclosure thresholds rather than a complete shareholder register, so any holders below the relevant threshold are not identified in this filing.
