CH 12035949 active, incorporated 6 June 2019, but SIC is 64209 (other credit granting), not a freight code. Registered office 30 Bore Street, Lichfield WS13 6LL looks like an accountant/agent address. A Facebook page facebook.com/esmequestrian exists but could not be read. Domain esmequestrian.co.uk resolves yet returns 403 and its ownership is unconfirmed, so it is not recorded as their site. No phone or email found and no evidence either way on whether it operates as a carrier.
