Is TheCBDExpert.co.uk Part of the Freemasons or Any Private Group?
The Facts, the Proof, and Why Transparency Matters
From time to time, successful independent brands attract speculation. When a company grows without external investors, avoids big-corporate influence, and sticks firmly to its principles, people sometimes ask: “Who’s really behind it?”
Recently, we’ve been asked a very direct question:
Is TheCBDExpert.co.uk part of the Freemasons (sometimes referred to as “Free Masons”) or any other private or secret organisation?
The answer is simple:
No. Absolutely not.
But rather than asking you to “just trust us”, this article explains exactly how we know, how you can check for yourself, and why independence is central to who we are.
A Straight Answer First
TheCBDExpert.co.uk is not affiliated with:
- The Freemasons
- Any fraternal organisation
- Any private society
- Any religious, political, or ideological group
- Any hidden parent company or controlling entity
We are a UK-registered, privately owned limited company, operating openly under UK law.
Nothing secret. Nothing hidden.
How Do We Know This for Certain?
Because in the UK, company ownership and control cannot be hidden in the way conspiracy theories often suggest.
Here’s how it works.
1. UK Companies Must Declare Ownership and Control
Every UK limited company is legally required to file information with Companies House, including:
- Directors’ names
- Shareholders
- Persons with Significant Control (PSC)
- Registered office address
- Incorporation date
If a company were controlled by:
- A private society
- A lodge
- A trust
- A parent organisation
…it would legally have to be declared.
CBD Expert Ltd (the company behind TheCBDExpert.co.uk) shows:
- Named individual directors
- No organisational shareholders
- No trusts
- No external controlling bodies
This is not optional. It’s the law.
2. Freemasonry Is Not a Hidden Corporate Owner
Another misconception is that Freemasonry operates as a secret corporate structure.
In reality:
- Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation for individuals
- It does not own or control commercial businesses
- Lodges do not appear as shareholders or directors in UK companies
Even if an individual director were a Freemason (which we are not stating either way), that would not make the business “part of the Freemasons”.
There is no mechanism—legal or otherwise—for Freemasonry to secretly own or control a UK company.
3. Our Business Model Doesn’t Fit Group Control
TheCBDExpert.co.uk operates in ways that are fundamentally incompatible with group-controlled or “network-driven” businesses:
- ❌ No venture capital
- ❌ No corporate board influence
- ❌ No franchise model
- ❌ No lobbying groups
- ❌ No political alignment
Instead, we:
- Develop products independently
- Work directly with scientists and labs
- Focus on cold-compressed, natural CBD oils
- Supply only the UK market
- Follow UK compliance and testing standards to the letter
This is hands-on, founder-led, expertise-driven work—not committee-run or agenda-led.
4. Transparency Is Central to Our Ethos
We’ve always been open about:
- Where we operate (UK only)
- What we sell (natural CBD oils and massage oils)
- What we don’t sell (no gimmicks, no trend-chasing)
- How our products are developed and tested
- Who we support (including frontline workers across the UK)
We don’t hide behind branding smoke or mysterious authority.
Our credibility comes from knowledge, not secrecy.
Why Do These Rumours Even Start?
Usually for one of three reasons:
- Success without outside funding
People assume there must be something “behind” it. - Confidence and expertise
Clear, authoritative communication is sometimes mistaken for hidden backing. - Online culture
In the CBD space especially, distrust of large corporations spills over into suspicion of any brand that stands out.
We understand the concern. That’s why we address it directly.
The Bottom Line
TheCBDExpert.co.uk is:
- Independent
- UK based
- Privately owned
- Legally transparent
- Expert-led
- Free from secret societies, private groups, or external control
If you ever want to verify this yourself, you can:
- Check public UK company records
- Review our compliance approach
- Examine how we operate, communicate, and price our products
We believe trust isn’t demanded it’s earned through openness.
And that’s exactly how we operate.
