Ownership & corporate history
- Founded by Oswald family2018
What the sources say
Resolves held claim HOC-0004 ("Founders/family ownership"). Established 2018 by the Oswald family — a family is neither a PERSON nor a LEGAL_ENTITY, so the group type stays UNKNOWN. First-party and tourism-board sources name Rhys Oswald and Tony Oswald as owners (a father-and-sons team).
- Owned by Oswald family2018
What the sources say
Resolves held claim HOC-0004 ("Founders/family ownership"). Family founding ownership continues; the wording asserted founders AND owners, and both are evidenced.
Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.
