Idexx Laboratories Limited: FCA regulated?

No longer authorised

Website, phone number and address

Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.

Past FCA permissions and consumer protection

The record is closed
Cover you already have generally survives the cancellation: FSCS exists for firms that have failed, and the Financial Ombudsman Service can look at a complaint about a firm that has stopped trading, as long as the business was done while it was authorised. New business with this firm has no cover at all, because it is no longer permitted to carry it out.

FCA disciplinary action

FCA action

action: 1
most recent: October 2026

Permission varied or cancelled on 19 October 2026

The Authority has cancelled the permission and withdrawn the authorisation of Idexx Laboratories Limited “the Firm” of Grange House, Sandbeck Way, Wetherby, West Yorkshire, LS22 7DN. The reason for this action is that the Authority considers the Firm is carrying on no regulated activities to which its Part 4A permission relates. The Authority’s action took effect on 1 9 October 2026, and a copy of the Notice of Decision issued under Schedule 6A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the Act), which sets out the reason for the action, is displayed on the Authority’s website and can be accessed using the following link: https://www.fca.org.uk/publication/decision-notices/idexx-laboratories-limited-2026.pdf As a consequence of this action the Firm is no longer an authorised firm for the purposes of the Act and it may not carry on regulated activities which fall within the scope of the Act.

The Financial Ombudsman Service only publishes complaint figures for firms with 30 or more new complaints in six months, so there are none here for this firm.

About these figures

Turnover: Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.
Profit before tax: What was left after the year’s costs, before corporation tax. A minus figure is a loss.
Net assets, or total equity: Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
Total assets and total liabilities: Everything the company owns, and everything it owes, on the last day of the year. The gap between them is its net assets.
Cash at bank: Money in the company’s accounts on the last day of the year.
Owed within a year, owed after a year: Debts and bills due in the next twelve months, and those due later.

Accounts filed at Companies House for company 02454226. Every figure is as filed, apart from total assets and total liabilities, which are added up from filed figures. Nothing is estimated.
