Capital raised per employee divides the equity HAMBLEDON VINEYARD LIMITED raised in the last six months by the headcount in its most recent filed accounts. It is a rough read on how capital-intensive the business is: a high figure means the company is raising a lot relative to the number of people it employs, which is typical of hardware, biotech and other research-heavy businesses. Headcount comes from annual accounts and so lags the funding date, often by a year or more.
A share class is a category of shares carrying its own rights over voting, dividends and what happens to the money if the company is sold or wound up. UK companies typically issue Ordinary shares to founders and employees, then create a new Preferred class at each funding round, giving investors priority on proceeds ahead of the Ordinary holders. HAMBLEDON VINEYARD LIMITED has 2 distinct classes on file at Companies House; the rights attached to each are reproduced below as filed.

THE ORDINARY SHARES DO NOT CONFER ANY RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION.

A resignation is filed with Companies House on form TM01 and the date below is the date the officer's appointment ended, not the date it was filed.
