Animus Associates Ltd is based at 26 Mount Row, Mayfair, London, W1K 3SQ.[1][2][3] The company is a successor to RISC Management which ceased to operate in January 2014. Director Keith Hunter and other key staff went on to set up Animus Associates.[4][5]

According to the company website, 'Animus Associates are a Global Risk Management and Security Consultancy based in the heart of London. We provide a diverse range of Intelligence led professional services supporting our clients to make informed decisions to protect themselves and mitigate Risk.'[3]

Directors

The directors of Animus Associates Ltd are:[2]

* Julius Nussbaum (25 November 2014 - 13 October 2015).
* Keith Hunter (20 March 2015 - present ).
* Simon Patrick Hume-Kendall (22 January 2014 - 20 March 2015).
* Paul Jeremy Duffen (22 January 2014 - present ).

The same address houses a second company, Maddox Advisors (UK), with the same set of directors (incorporated a few months earlier, in November 2013):[6]

* Julius Nussbaum (6 January 2014 - 25 November 2014).
* Keith Hunter (6 January 2013 CHECK DATE - 10 January 2014; 25 November 2014 - present).
* Simon Patrick Hume-Kendall (6 January 2014 - present ).
* Paul Jeremy Duffen (6 January 2014 - present).

The shareholders of Maddox and Animus are listed as Julius Nussbaum (95%) and David Blackett Stockard (5%) in one source [7] though another has Keith Hunter as holding 100% shareholding of Maddox Advisors.[8]

Julius Nussbaum is a former lettings negotiator / consultant with Kingsley Estates Ltd.[9][10] He was the only director without a history with the RISC-ISC Global company network; he left Animus Associaties in October 2015.

Note that Hunter set up Maddox long before RISC management ceased to exist. Animus was set up in the same month RISC Management was dissolved, but Hunter did not join as a director until more than a year later.
