Co-owners of Ramsgate’s Granville Theatre, Matthew Milchard and Zarah and Parisa Tarjomani, face insolvency and losses totaling almost £1million as their business empire appears close to collapse.
According to documents published on the Companies House Website on 30th January 2024, Under One Roof (Kids) Ltd which is owned by Milchard, and is understood to have operated a nursery in Woolwich south east London, has been declared insolvent.
The company’s debts include unpaid staff wages, a long list of unpaid suppliers, and an outstanding loan from HSBC which together total a staggering £621,077.

Related company, Under One Roof Kids Thanet Limited, which
is jointly owned by Milchard and the Tarjomani sisters, appears to be in serious financial difficulties too. Its latest accounts up to 31 March 2022 show it to have made losses of £273,343.
Its accounts up to 31 March 2023 must be submitted to Companies House next month. Unless they show a dramatic financial improvement, could it be the case that Under One Roof Kids Thanet Limited might also go into liquidation?
They say bad news comes in threes and this tale is no exception. A third related company, Under One Roof Kids Canterbury Limited, again owned by Milchard and the Tarjomani sisters reported losses £53,199 up until 31 March 2022.
With its accounts for 2023 due to Companies House next month even more bad financial news might be heading Milchard and the Tarjomani sisters’ way.
Not being a business expert one thing which perplexes me is that Westwood One Theatre Limited, which is owned by Milchard and the Tarjomani sisters, and which owns the freehold of the Granville Theatre, is also a co-owner of the loss making Under One Roof Kids Canterbury Limited. This web of company links is indeed confusing.

But confusion aside it would be reasonable to believe that Milchard and the Tarjonami’s are in serious financial trouble and that the £1million insolvency and losses are likely to spell the end of their Under One Roof childcare empire.
Worse still the collapse of the Under One Roof empire may well have a very serious knock on impact upon the future of the Granville Theatre.
If this is so, then it could be argued that last year’s fiasco about the sale of the theatre (see links below ) was much more than a mistake for which estate agents Lovetts were thrown under the bus and forced to publicly apologize for.
I believe that last year’s Granville sale debacle was supposed to be a secret plan for Milchard and the Tarjonami’s to bail out from the theatre should their investments turn sour and should money get tight, which now seems to be the case.
The likelihood that Lovett’s or some other estate agency are rubbing their hands in anticipation of commission from a bumper £1.5 million theatre sale is I think becoming greater by the day.
But don’t forget that last year Milchard and the Tarjonami’s were spinning barely credible yarns about the leaked theatre sale and were issuing legal threats like confetti to anyone who was critical of them. I expect we shall see more of the same behavior after I publish this article.
I am led to believe that Milchard might already be spinning fantastical yarns about the liquidation of Under One Roof Kids London whose staff worked incredibly hard to save his business, whilst he is said to have enjoyed two expensive family holidays, have not yet been paid.
Mr Milchard, may as a children’s entertainer, be able to tell a good tale, but he should also know that the moral of most kids stories is that truth and honesty always triumphs. There are enough people out there who know the truth about Mr. Milchard’s business dealings and are also very honest.
Watch this space.
