He was a director of Woodside Care Limited (dissolved 2014) and Roundel Group Limited (dissolved), and a designated member of M Square Capital LLP (dissolved). Between 2013 and 2023 he also held directorships of Danidev Limited, Milehigh 2016 Limited and CJ Sales Direct Limited.[2] The Companies House correspondence address for Kohn at Woodside Care Limited is the same as the charity's register address.[3][1]
Dynasty link
The trust's own register entry names no dynasty. The only link to Sanz-Klausenburg is through Israel Jeremy Kohn, who is also a trustee and director of Laniado Hospital UK.[1][4][5] According to Rabinowicz, the dynasty's founder opened the Laniado Hospital in Kiryat Sanz, Netanya, in 1975–76.[6] This does not establish that the Tomchei Torah Charitable Trust itself has any connection with the dynasty.
