Alec Louw Theunissen

Alec Louw Theunissen, a South African national based in Kent, is identified by complainants as Martin Model's operational front man in the UK: UK directorships, client communications, term-sheet execution — the “Transaction Office” clients deal with once they have paid.

He has been director of 35+ UK companies; more than 30 are dissolved, struck off or in liquidation, across two separate Companies House officer records. He was sole director of Corinth Management Services Ltd — zero accounts in six years, an HMRC winding-up petition and compulsory liquidation in January 2026. Two months later he incorporated Copper Moon Enbay Ltd.

cgoch.com bills him as “Head of Credit – EMEA” with a Master's in Psychology, an MBA and 28 years in investment banking. The record shows a BA in Education from the University of Johannesburg, no financial professional qualification and no FCA approval.

Complainants describe him as supremely incompetent — allegedly by design, at Martin Model's behest — and report that he told clients to “piss off”. Complainants reported that during professional dealings with Corinth, Alec Theunissen made unwelcome personal advances towards them. They said Martin was aware of this. One complainant who lost everything states: “Alec was arguably worse. In my experience, nothing he told us was ever true.”
