Dynasty link
No dynasty is named on the company's own register entries. The only link to Sanz-Klausenburg runs through a former officer, Yesucher Myer Pinter, who left in 1994. He is a director of Kolel Iyun Limited, which Companies House records as Kolel Iyun D'Sanz Limited from 1985 to 1995.[7][10] That past directorship does not establish any affiliation between Mazkereth Gittel Limited and the dynasty.
The page Chabad Lubavitch of Bloomsbury - Central London is linked only because Alan Lawrence Lee is a director of that company. This does not establish any connection with Chabad.[5]
