| 39 | − | Princes Gate Spring Water is the bottler named on the back of Princes Gate water bottles, at New House Farm, Princes Gate, Narberth, Pembrokeshire SA67 8JD.[^pack2015] The registered company of that name (08756588) was incorporated on 31 October 2013 and dissolved on 23 September 2025;[^ch08756588] a second company at the same address, Princes Gate Water Limited (04264396), carried the name Princes Gate Spring Water Limited from 2001 until October 2013 and still bottles under SIC 11070.[^ch04264396] Nestlé Waters acquired the majority of the business in May 2018.[^nestlepr] The GS1 prefix 5024616 is recorded here as derived from the pack, which names this bottler; no register states the licensee.[^pack2015] | |
| 43 | + | Princes Gate Spring Water Limited was the Pembrokeshire company named as bottler on the back of Princes Gate water bottles, at New House Farm, Princes Gate, Narberth, Pembrokeshire SA67 8JD.[^pack2015] Registered as company 08756588 with its office at The Well Fields, Princes Gate, under SIC 11070 for the production of bottled waters, it was incorporated on 31 October 2013 and dissolved on 23 September 2025.[^ch08756588] Nestlé Waters bought a majority of the business in May 2018;[^nestlepr] Nestlé S.A. was the notified person with significant control from 31 May 2018 until 18 October 2023, when Nestlé Waters UK Limited (02334804) replaced it and remained so to dissolution.[^chpsc08756588] A separate company at the same address, Princes Gate Water Limited (04264396), carried this exact name from August 2001 to October 2013 and is still registered as a bottler.[^ch04264396] | |

| 45 | + | The brand behind both companies began in August 1991, when brothers David and Glyn Jones started bottling spring water from beneath their farm; a purpose-built plant followed in 2004 and a high-speed line in 2007.[^wikipedia] Princes Gate Water Limited was a subsidiary of this company from 8 March 2017 until 2 May 2024, when Nestlé Waters UK Limited was notified in its place.[^chpsc04264396] GS1 prefix 5024616 stays recorded here as inferred rather than sourced. Every one of the ten Open Food Facts records under the prefix is bottled water, Princes Gate's own bottles together with own-label lines such as Dunsters Farm,[^offprefix] which points at this bottling business, but no source consulted names the licensee: GS1's Verified by GS1 refuses automated queries and the GEPIR lookup it replaced now redirects to that page without data,[^vbg] a web search for the bare digits returns only GS1's own barcode documentation, and neither Companies House record mentions a prefix.[^ch08756588] The two same-named companies cannot be told apart from the pack either, and the earlier years in which a prefix for this range would have been licensed belong to 04264396.[^ch04264396] | |
