What does this mean?

An appointed representative (AR) can carry out regulated financial services, but is not directly authorised by the FCA. A principal firm holds the authorisation and is legally responsible for the AR's conduct.
Northumbrian Leisure Limited (FRN 410732) is an AR of Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited (FRN 311786). When you use Northumbrian Leisure's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
Example: if you take financial advice from Northumbrian Leisure, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
Before you proceed, confirm contact details match the official FCA register for both firms. Scammers sometimes clone legitimate AR names and FRNs but use fake phone numbers and websites.

This company holds another FCA record

A company can hold several FCA records, covering different parts of its business, and each one carries its own permissions and protection. The reference number you were given decides which record applies to you.
